RUSSIAN MEME THING - BEWARE

[foxmonkey]

This thing hijacks your password in order to post what looks like a seemingly innocent meme thing. I don't know about you, but that makes me *very* uneasy.

See kaelie's instructions in the comments on clearing data from your computer (using Windows Millenium). Better safe than sorry, that's for sure.

Here's some technical info about it, link courtesy of chrism. As she puts it: "here's the link to more technical info than anyone in their right mind would want..." It's in rosenho's journal.

Thanks to oshunanut and ohevet_likro for the heads up.

Also, this guy has been reported to the LJ abuse team by at least one person.

That's wierd - I'm also working from Windows ME, and my Internet Options (under the "general" tab) offers the following:

Temporary Internet Files (under which there's a delete cookies button and a delete files button), and a Clear History button.

Computers, man. I'm so glad I didn't do that Russian Sausage meme. Good luck! Also? Finish Baby Blue.

How. Weird. Just another bit of proof that my computer hates me. Grrrrr!

Also? Finish Baby Blue.

Ska-weee! I will!
