There must be some kind of a new Tumblr virus going on, I’ve gotten two chat messages from long-time followers this morning asking for help and linking to a Bitcoin wallet. (Two different versions of basically: “Hey what’s up? I need help with X. I need X amount of money but am short by X amount. This is my Bitcoin wallet number: cniowebebf”.)
I can’t say how someone gets affected by it (probably clicking on a link), but check your chat history to see if you’ve sent messages like that, change your password, do a scan, and always avoid clicking dodgy links!
i’ve gotten about 30 of these so far. i feel so bad because some of the blogs you can tell are genuinely someone’s personal & currently active account that was ‘hacked’ 😔 hopefully it won’t end up affecting the blogs at all.
just check ✔️ your messages to make sure that you haven’t be sending dm’s to people asking for bitcoin! if you get a message from someone & want to — let them know that they’re sending spam out ✔️ they may of had no idea!!
i just got one of these, i didn’t click the link thankfully but make sure if any of you get one, delete it x
