Heard this message from Void-Wolf
"Attention my fellow artists... Guys there's a hacker roaming around DA, This person will hack your account and post pornographic pictures, only if he/she hacks your account. If he/she finds out that you've posted this to a journal or on your page, he'll/she'll know what's going on and won't hack you. Please copy this for your safety to prevent your account from being hacked. The hacker does vital region pictures around in the account page and writes in journals: "I hate you all, go die" And he/she will also remove all your watchers. If this happens to me, then you know that it isn't me. I am only writing this journal to warn everyone here. I suggest you all copy this journal and warn your watchers as well. I think the hacker will not have more fun with hacking you if you and your watchers already know what could happen. You might get this message multiple times from multiple people of your watch list, but it's better than not getting it. Spread the word! This hacker is going around"
Hacker warning
There's a hacker lurking around DeviantART that will change your password and post inappropriate pics on your account.
They will post bad pictures only if they hack your account. If they found out you posted a journal entry about this warning, they will know what's up and they won't hack your account. They will also be posting journal entries saying things like "I hate you all! Go die!" and remove all your watchers. The best thing you could do now is copy this warning and post for all your friends and watchers to see and spread the word! The hacker will go around hacking accounts and block your friends to get your friends to block you back, get you in trouble, and get you banned from DeviantART.
If you want to save your account, you should make a journal entry with this warning to keep the hacker from hacking your account. So, SPREAD THE WORD!!!
#SaveYourInternet (For EU Citizens)
As much as I don't like these kinds of news, it is my duty to report situations that could potentially kill my career.
The European Union will vote on some copyright reform policies such as Article 13 later this month.
The main issues with these policies would be that it will impose colossal filtering under the pretence of combating copyright infringement online by using algorithms that cannot distinguish the differences between Fair Use and Copyright Infringement, as well as implementing taxes on sharing links to various news outlets.
I fear that if it passes, I may never be able to upload fan art or any such content again, but I'll be damned if I can still do so.
A YouTube user named Computing Forever explains the intentions and some possible consequences of Article 13.
If you're based in an EU country, you can help by emailing or tweeting your country's MEPS in the EU country you're residing in: saveyourinternet.eu
If you're not in the EU, share this with your European followers.
Another one of these yay
A hacker is going around DA deactivating accounts by hacking into their profiles and email addresses. Copy and paste this journal to stop yourself from getting hacked. As soon as the hacker sees this. He will see what’s going on, and won’t hack you. Please save your account and stop this hacker so we don’t lose another DeviantART user. (I'm not sure if this is true, but better safe than sorry).
