Signal Boost
Sep. 23rd, 2009 08:59 amReading my flist this morning I was wondering why some posts had weird things at the end.
I suspect it's due to this: Urgent security notice: embedded content security breach.
As far as known at this time, LJ has had a security breach with the embedded content domain lj-toys.com. This breach resets the icon and metadata of your most recent post and sets the security to public, along with inserting malicious Flash content into the body of the post, within minutes of viewing an infected Flash file. Then, other people viewing that Flash content in your entry will also become infected. Because of this, embedding on LJ has been disabled, so there should be no new infections from the LiveJournal site itself. However, many people are already infected.
I suggest people go over and read the post. I've got lj toys blocked and have logged back in.
