VIRUS on FanFiction.Net

Hey everyone, just a heads up –

Apparently, there’s a virus making its rounds on FFN that has to do with user profiles.  If you’re a logged-in user and click on an infected profile, the virus can spread to your own.  The virus usually comes with a spam of reviews claiming to be from Critics United, and some profiles are being changed, from little changes up to deactivating the user.

More information HERE and HERE.

I’m not nearly computer literate enough to understand how all this stuff works, but it’s enough of an issue that I’ve been both backing up all my fics *and* saving my reviews so they don’t get deleted.  Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

PLEASE reblog and get the word out!

I have been noticing posts about this and researched it myself.

It’s pretty bad.

I will also not upload anything on FFnet until this issue gets resolved. I would suggest the same to everyone else, just to keep your profiles out of reach by others for now.
