on that note PLEASE let me know if i’m suddenly posting random pictures of women with a link underneath the photo. don’t click the link, just FYI.
i do suggest reblogging this in case someone sees this happening to someone else they follow
when this happened to me, I immediately logged out of everything & changed my password, then went to my queue, where I found whoever had hacked into my account had dropped 190 porn advertising posts. (it would have been easier to clear out my queue entirely using xkit, but I’m a stubborn jackass & had posts I wanted to keep in there… so I counted.)
I don’t recall clicking any odd links (though it’s always possible) & was only online in the app at the time, so no chance of phishing. it’s possible some of these bot accounts are just running dictionary attacks on blogs at random trying to log in. anyone can be targeted by this, so I recommend making your new password a strong one.
it’s doubtful tumblr staff is going to be much more help in this situation than what you could do on your own, but you can still save your page. good luck & godspeed.
