[link] <<<---- this is a list of names and accounts (as well as emails) that were hit by this (and possibly past) phishing scam(s)... :hmm:

Apparently there's around 2,300 or so... if you scroll for your name (if you were affected or feel you may be) you will see your username AND your password has been logged and charted.
I don't know exactly how anyone gets on this list... or if it's random or not, but there's A LOT of people on there :(

Special thanks to =Krissi2197 for posting me the list...She was a HUGE help when it came to figuring out what to do and what was going on.

Sure enough my name was on that bloody list -__-;;;
If it was because someone who hated me or disliked me put it there, then I can only wonder what I did that was so bad to acquire my name being blacklisted.
*sigh*

Sad times we live in guys... sad sad times.


HOWEVER! My account has been reactivated, but as I said before I cannot yet log into it. I'm currently awaiting the finishing process for allowing me access to my account again.
I'm thankful the dA staff has actually taken the initiative on this situation and that it was resolved quickly (well, as quickly as possible).

I beg all of you to read this article here -- [link] to find out more information.

And remember kids, DON'T CLICK ANY LINKS YOU FIND SUSPICIOUS OR UNUSUAL. REPORT THEM TO THE dA STAFF IMMEDIATELY IF YOU FEEL THE LINK MAY BE A HARMFUL ONE. (But don't be too paranoid about it. If the link it sent by someone you know; someone who responds to you if you reply to them, then the link should be safe. However, be careful.)

That is all,

Sterling 'Ninja' Kato

PS: Sorry for posting so many consecutive journals but people asked if I would/could keep them updated on the information I gain as I gain it... so that is what I am doing.
However I do owe huge thanks to my watchers and friends for helping me acquire this information. Thank you every one of you :iconsquishhugplz:


PSx2:

My account is back online and I'm able to log into it now! -- [link]

I read from one of the official dA admins that the unable to log in thing is because the account has been locked by the staff. This is for security purposes, and that you'll have to contact them in order to get in unlocked.

This explains why you're unable to get back into your main account. c:

Where did you read this?

I have contacted them twice about the password issue already, but whenever I post the inquiry and I go to review it it says either I don't have permission to view it (which I do since I'd posted it an hour ago with this account =/) or that it has been solved or deleted.
Yet another glitch I'm sure, but it still is annoying.

Is there a direct place that you know of the contact them? I'm unsure of how to do so properly about this issue...I'm not sure if I'm inquiring properly.

I just read it before seeing this reply :XD: thanks though :)

See, I emailed them AND wrote out a ticket... and I haven't heard back on either yet... so idk if that's because I did it wrong or...?

Either way I hope they get in contact me soon :C

unfortunately it looks like a lot of your artwork has been deleted. I'm going to miss going through your gallery and looking through stuff.
