deviantART Gets Hacked, User Info Compromised

Fortunately my DA account is as inconspicuous as an ant in a pile of Coffee beans, and the last time I used it for anything was 3 years ago, so I just deactivated it out of both paranoia and concern. I suppose it's too late to do anything about it now, but this is still worrying, especially since I know a lot of people who use one very complicated password for every site.
I think you need to have an account to see any porn,Onyx Oblivion said:
Thankfully I never had an account there either.
Wonder what site'll be hit next... hmm this one's secure right?
Thank goodness my dA email isn't connected to anything I use now. It's an old address that I haven't used since I was 14. So, I think I'm okay.
Oh no, now I will receive intrusive advertisements in the same realm of what I've already been seeing from Deviantart in my email.
Well, so long as it's just spammers, it's just another dozen things to tick and delete each time I log into my mail.If only all ISPs just charged 0.01 cents to send an email, it'd kill off a vast amount of spam.
Also, who's replying to this shit anyway? it's always horribly spelled and punctuated, and who'd trust credit card details to someone who can't even SPELL viagra without getting numbers involved? but, if people weren't buying, spam wouldn't exist, so someone must be.
At least my google mail account drops all the mails from Blizzerd and Battle.com about my wow account being hacked into the spam and marks them as phishing mails whoo aren't from who they say they're from.
maybe all sites shouldl offer authenticators like Blizzard does, could have a big ol' keyring of number generators and feel safe! (til you lose it and lose contact with everything forever).

Ha this is silly, just got an attempted hack e-mail from "deviantart" trying to get me to verify my email. So stupid, I've had an account there for years with some seriously outdated info (because I never think to update that stuff) including a defunct email address, yet they refer to me as a "new deviant." Never mind that devart had no access to my current email address on their site. Seems like the info is indeed being used for further hacking attempts, imo.
Should go without saying but, beware potential scam emails like that. For reference the address was from "[email protected]"

This is ridiculous, 2 websites that I joined have been hacked, both this week!! Well, time to update my e-mail filter to remove spam given by websites I've never visited, *sighs* yet again.
