Heyo all.

If you haven’t heard about PRISM yet, you should get yourself informed.  Click here to do so.

In a nutshell, it allows the government to spy on any of your information.  Video, images, calls on skype to landlines or from computer to computer, searches on google, your profiles on social media sites… etc.  In addition to the requirement of Verizon to release all phone logs, this is a violation of privacy on an unprecedented scale.  It is a further expansion of the unnecessary Patriot Act signed into congress during the Bush administration.

Of course, there isn’t much of an outcry against this.  Our ubiquity of social media and sharing of personal information on, say, twitter, Facebook, Myspace, etc, has pretty much paved the way for this sort of act to be signed into place.  What’s one more group looking at your site, even if it is the government, right?   

Wrong.  Given time, information that you may publish could be used against you by law enforcement and government agencies.  Americans have been giving up civil rights regularly over the past fifty years, and it is getting to the point that we will have no rights left.

America will no longer will be “Home of the Free.”  It is becoming “Home of the Observed, Controlled, and Wiretapped.”

SIGNAL BOOSTING THE FUCK OUT OF THIS

JUSDT REBLOG THIS SHIT TO HELLLLLL

Fuck this shit. We deserve our privacy

This has been going on for YEARS and y’all are just now figuring it out

POSSIBLE VIRUS ALERT
I received this ask and I deleted it immediately, but I have seen people I follow getting the same ask! It sounds sketchy to me because I doubt there’s such a thing as an “Official Tumblr diet”. So if you get this ask DELETE IT!!!!!!!

i’ve gotten it a couple times today, sharing to let you guys know this is a thing

Yup, I got it too, be careful

[[ I got it today. It’s a real site, but it IS a virus site. If you put in the link it will bring you to one of those “give away” things and yeah. DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY]]

I have gotten this twice already!

I’ve gotten it! I deleted it!

I got two and replied once saying that if anyone gets it don’t go to the site.
The site is a virus but the ask is not.

             I AM NOT A THREAT.

• I AM NOT a predator
• I AM NOT a murderer
• I AM NOT DANGEROUS.

• I AM living somewhere that has nobody with the same humor, interests, intelligence, or tastes as I do.
• I AM talking to your son or daughter because THEY DO.
• I AMwishing you wouldn’t judge me when you don’t know me.

This is for Jay, first and foremost. She’s 17 years old and received a pair of mouse earrings for Christmas from one of her online friends. (She’s in the Charles/Erik fandom and they signified Charles, who gets represented as a mouse in a lot of fandom references)

Her parents flipped out, ignored the fact that I was willing to have a conversation with them on the phone in order to keep RPing with her via text and email, and completely banned her from the internet. That was months ago, and she still can’t come back. They’ve completely disregarded her assurances that we are RP partners, friends who like the same fandom, and assume that all of us are sexual predators who just want to find where she lives and kidnap her and do unspeakable things to her.

I’m getting sick of this stereotype, I hate that parents assume everyone on the internet is a sexual predator, and their kid is the #1 victim. I feel like this is insulting to the child AND their friends, because you assume that your kid is susceptible and stupid and can’t tell the difference between who is and isn’t a creep.

I’m not saying that there aren’t kids like that, but maybe you should stop assuming your kid is one of them.

We come to the internet to find friends, we come here to find people who like to read and write and draw and make funny faces and horrible photoshop manipulations. We don’t come here to get off, to stalk children or bully anyone.

So please signal boost this, because I want Jay’s parents to realize that there is no reasonfor them to punish their daughter. Not when all she’s done was find friends who like what she likes, and encourage her to write and share her talent with the rest of us.

!!!URGENT: BAD VIRUS GOING AROUND, PLEASE READ!!!

This is ScorecardResearch. A terrible virus, an awful popup, & something that should be avoided at all costs.

Be careful of the malicious websites you go on. One of them may install behind your back this popup. ScorecardResearch is a dangerous pop-up virus. It seems legit, right? But why would something just pop up without your permission? I received this twice. After the second time, I decided to look into it.

I started noticing that whenever I loaded a page, Chrome would have this at the bottom:

Why is this working behind the scenes of my browser?

According to BotCrawl.com, this is what ScorecardResearch is:

“ScorecardResearch.com, including b.scorecardresearch.com, and Scorecard Research surveys are categorized as severe malware, and is most noted to be connected to a Trojan infection that attempts to disguise as a legitimate marketing research group collecting anonymous data and information about the user’s internet activity, usage, etc.”

Do not click into this. Don’t touch anything. Close the tab immediately. Go through all your programs, addons, etc, & delete anything suspicious. Scan your computer, delete your cookies & clear your cache, do whatever it takes. You can read more here.

tl;dr — Do not trust ScorecardResearch. This thing will fuck you over.

*****GUYS. LISTEN. I HAVE THIS. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DEFENSIVE HACKER (I HACK THE HACKERS), AS WELL AS A LICENCED COMPUTER TECHNICIAN. AND I STILL GOT THIS PIECE OF SHIT MALWARE. NOBODY. IS. IMMUNE.*****

I’m not an idiot about what pages I visit. Chrome, Avira, and my own protections that I made with my own ten fingers made sure that I was able to browse safely. I have NO clue as to where this little bugger came from, but I was alerted when random words in a post were underlined!

Shortly after that, a keylogger was detected. I accessed it and terminated it from the source, but it cropped back up for another six hours until I was finally able to get it off my trail. Because of how long this had gone undetected (around two days) I had already lost access to my banking information, my email, two of my five YouTube accounts (I do tutorials and machinima), and an account for a small forum that I no longer visit.

I was screwed.

I had to get a new bank card, and I got the rest of the accounts back eventually, except for the one I no longer used or cared about. I had to switch to Opera from my beloved Chrome as I formulated a plan. Avira picked up nothing. I don’t trust any other antivirus to do a clean enough job about it, but it still didn’t find anything. There was nothing installed in my Extensions or in Control Panel.

I installed ScriptSafe and blacklisted b.scorecardresearch. I think that you all should do the same. This also affected my girlfriend’s mother who is a Mac user, so it’s not only a Windows thing.

oh my god i clicked on no script to go add it and when you see the scripts that are running ONE OF THEM WAS THAT idkijgkdjg

i don’t think i’ve ever mashed ‘untrusted’ harder in my whole life

Soooo even if you google just the URL after the (dot)com, it will try to attack you even if just on Google [I use Norton so it deleted it. I also cleared my cache incase it’s still inside the cache on chrome. 

Info:

“HTTP suspicious executable file download”

“antivirus-alarm(dot)ru/proverka/?url=205.196.121.226/” 

It is a (dot)scr that tried to download, a PAL script
