Trolls Claim Tumblr Infected: Racist And Inflamatory Posts Exploding
A notorious group of Internet trolls says it has unleashed a worm that has littered Tumblr blogs with inflammatory and racist posts.
According to the technology site The Verge, GNNA, whose full name we can’t print in a family blog, says the worm has infected more than 8,000 accounts. The worm spread when users were logged into Tumblr and clicked on a viral in more ways than one post that asked for all Tumblr users to “drink bleach and die.”
“While we can’t verify that number now, the compromise is visible on several personal blogs, as well as those for Reuters, The Verge, and others,” The Verge reports.
Tumblr said that if you’ve clicked on a post that begins “Dearest ‘Tumblr’ users,” you should “log out of all browsers that may be using Tumblr immediately.”
The micro-blogging site says its engineers are working on a fix.
The Daily Dot, one of the first sites to get hit, called this a “blockbuster hack” that brought Tumblr “to its knees.”
