Alert to my Friends list

[annathepiper]

Hey guys, I apparently got dinged with this LJ exploit that was going around this morning before the LJ team got it under control. From what I can tell, this means I must have read an infected entry when going over my Friends list this morning, and as a result, any of you all who might have read ME during the window of vulnerability may also have been compromised.

Please read the link I provide just above to see if any action is required on your part. If so, your password was probably not compromised, but it'd be a good idea to change it anyway. If you had an email address set on your profile, that was probably also snurched, so if that was an email address you didn't want to escape into the wild, you should think about changing that too.

Apologies to anybody who might have gotten this ick off of me. Bah.

I didn't even get online this morning, so I'm assuming that I'm safe. The problem is that the email I've listed is my primary email. Would it still be safe? I read what the LJ staff posted but it didn't tell me how safe my email address would be.

If you didn't read any LJ during the time in question, you're good.

I think I was asleep the whole time that was going on.

Yay! So no worries for you at all. :) I'm glad they caught it quickly, nonetheless!
