PSA

There are a couple of destructive memes going around.

If you see a form written in Russian with a bunch of usernames, don't put in yours.

If you see a post with nothing but a link that says "This is very interesting", don't click it.

These memes exploit a hole in LJ security and automatically post to your journal. There's some discussion on closing the hole in [livejournal.com profile] lj_dev here.

If one of these memes already got you, clear your cookies and change your password.

EDIT: Having read a little more about this problem, my advice is not to put in your username anywhere except LJ's own pages until this issue is resolved.

Yeah, I got one. Thanks for the suggestion.
