Quick signal boost

Apparently LJ had a security breach and some users may have had their entries infected with information-harvesting viruses. Go here for more info and to check.

yikes. you'd think this would be the kind of thing they'd make a news post about. Thankfully I never use this embed with lj-toys. And on my flist I use placeholders for flash but still.

Thanks for the heads up.

Has LJ made an official announcement? Meta_LJ with its forty members hardly seems the place to spread the word.

I think I need to start using placeholders. I didn't actually know you could! I hate embedded media in general; it really bogs down my loading times and makes the whole browser run slower.

I think they have now. I don't watch the LJ news comms, but I've seen some links around.
