DA Phishing

Sun Feb 8, 2009, 12:54 PM
  • Mood: Disbelief
There are some spam comments going around with the intention of tricking people into giving away their DA login info. I'd advise against clicking on links in comments now, particularly if they sound like "omg this is so funny CLICK HERE"; that is very clearly spam, and clicking the link could land you with a virus or try to trick you into giving away personal info. I haven't clicked the links, so really, I don't know first hand.

One of the admins has posted a journal about it:

[link]

Also, please note that in this url, the domain is formatted like this:

_________ . deviantart . com

A lot of trick sites do variations like

deviantart . ______ . com

or

_____ . deviantart . _____ . com

Subdomains, i.e. the _____ in these examples, always go BEFORE the main domain with nothing following the domain but a .com, .net, whatever. Unless the last thing before the .com is deviantart, it's not real. This order of sub-main domain names applies to all websites, too, like google mail and paypal.

Another thing: people can have an address display in your browser as one address but point the actual link at another. For example, a link text might SAY deviantart while pointing to google (an innocent example, but you get the idea).

Always check the status bar in your browser to see where you're actually going, or copy and paste the url before going to see if it's what you were actually expecting.

Thank you so much for the favorite! I assure you there was squeeing. I'm a big fan of your work, been reading EGS for years. Keep it up!
:iconkyuukei:
Sweet, didn't know you had a DeviantArt. Love the comic, been reading since the beginning.

When this girl at the art museum asked me whom I liked better, Monet or Manet, I said, 'I like mayonnaise.' She just stared at me, so I said it again, louder. Then she left. I guess she went to try to find some mayonnaise for me.
:iconbrphoenix:
Have you ever wondered where your readers come from? You could find interesting things =D
BTW, hi. I've been reading EGS for a while now (I think I started reading in July, or maybe June 2009), and I really like it. Congrats on making such an amazing webcomic! =D

Man, if only I could draw...

Hello good sir.
I've been reading EGS since 8th grade, and it's always been a great read for me.
Glad to see that you have a DA, can't believe I never thought to look.
Looking forward to what happens next.

Hello.

I've been reading your comic for a few years now and I really like it. What brings me out of my perpetual lurk mode is your latest comic. I really likes Nanase's wings and it would be really nice if you uploaded a deviation - either the whole page or just that one frame. I would :+fav: it. I understand if you lack reasons to put it up, but thanks in advance anyhow.

Have a nice day.

They're after me Lukki charms... :fear:

I've been reading your comics and they're fantastic but recently I haven't been able to access your site. I keep getting a message saying that the operation timed out and it doesn't matter what computer I use. It's really annoying, can you try and fix it please? (I assume it's on your end)
:icondsworn:
O.O you have a dA? i dont even know how i missed it all this time! Btw, LOVE your comic, and its the first comic i actually read on the net that interested me ^.^ Looking forward to more!
:iconmalindachan:
