UPDATE: $namenotrequired has informed me that this problem has been detected and fixed. Everything should be okay now. However, I will keep this Journal up just in case it happens again and the hackers find a way around it. Remember to check for the "key differences!"

Recently, people like `J-u-d-a-s have been hacked, having their accounts deactivated. Fortunately, `J-u-d-a-s was able to regain control of his account.
I will be telling you how to avoid the same thing happening to you.
First of all, I'd like to say that the hackers are very smart and deceitful. They have made a login page very similar to deviantART's, but with this tutorial, you will be able to see the difference between the two and know whether you really need to log in or if it's a scam.

20K Points Reminder

:iconeternanyx:

Apparently this scam has been making a habit of reappearing and deactivating. By the time the news of a new account pops up, it's already deactivated. While it is reassuring to see that this problem is being nipped in the bud, the problem still exists. If you happen to see anything suspicious please let us know.

Do you guys know about =DNGDesign?

He's been blackmailing point donators for large amounts of points, telling them, he will report them to deviantART, if they don't donate to them.

Evidence can be found via #Point-Police
