Got this in my messages as soon as I posted the link to today's What's Good. The link in there for the "secure conformation process" when you hoverover doesn't match, and I'm sure doesn't take you anywhere you wanna go. The account itself is just a bunch of numbers with Tumblr logos and icons I've seen before. Block and report as spiced ham, and give details when prompted.
We hope this message finds you well! Our automated security systems have detected a minor inconsistency concerning your account's authentication details. At Tumblr, safeguarding your content, aesthetic, and the integrity of our community is our top priority.
In line with our 2026 Terms of Service and enhanced security measures, we require a mandatory confirmation of your account. This step has been initiated due to a recent rise in unauthorized access attempts from external sources.
Current account status: Visibility Shield Activated
To protect your profile during this process, we have temporarily enabled a Visibility Shield on your account:
Lurker Mode: Your recent posts remain fully accessible to you; however, they are currently hidden from the global dashboard, search results, and discovery feeds.
Purpose: This is a precautionary step to verify account ownership and prevent potential unauthorized access
To remove these restrictions and restore your content to public visibility, please complete the secure confirmation process.
Complete: Masked URL, tumblr dot com forward slash verification is listed, but the link underneath doesn't match.
Note: This confirmation window is active for 48 hours from the time you receive this notification.
Instant Restoration: Once confirmed, your posts will be re-indexed into trending tags and search results (typically within 30 minutes)
Our Error? Our Apology: If this restriction was mistakenly applied, we will promptly restore full access and credit your account with two weeks of Tumblr Premium as a gesture of our apology.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping Tumblr safe and authentic.
