FurAffinity Users, Don't Log into the Site (for now)!

Hey, if you're a fellow account user of FA, please DO NOT log into the site right now... Apparently, the domain has been hijacked, so typing in your username and password could see your account hacked/stolen. I wouldn't even risk "autofilling," just to be safe. They're saying you can check FA's twitter or discord for further info.

Yeah, whenever you see anything about a social media site being "hijacked" and all, it's best to refrain from using it... Don't worry about mine, I typically keep logged out of my accounts and they posted the same warning on the site's welcome page.

Note: if you'd like to log out of your account if it's got you currently logged in, for extra safety, it's advised that you try clearing your browser history. Apparently, it seems to log you out of your account if you can't do it the standard way.

The Domain Name System (DNS) began alongside the internet, connecting users to online assets by easy-to-remember domain names, rather than by IP addresses.

My .tk domain name was hijacked by some kind of spamroulette today, and now I'm locked out of its DNS settings for being a spammer. I've reported it to the registry but being as .tk is essentially a throwaway domain I'm not expecting much to happen.

I've changed my Tumblr's primary URL back to the standard 11eagle.tumblr.com. I recommend you don't attempt to visit 11eagle.tk because the shit it redirects you to set off my browser's malware alert. (If you can see anywhere where I've linked to my .tk that I've forgotten then let me know and I'll change it.)
