Here is some important lj security advice:
1. ENABLE A SECURITY QUESTION IMMEDIATELY.( or...Not )
2. GO HERE AND REMOVE ANY EMAIL ADDRESSES THAT YOU NO LONGER CONTROL.( Why? )
Anyone who has a flist of 500+ or moderates a comm of 500+ should READ THIS POST IMMEDIATELY.
Wondering why I'm so worried? It's because posts like this (click for larger version):

have started popping up in various comms again, and that's not good. If you follow a link in a post like that, you should run your antivirus programs immediately, as the linked pages can contain viruses and keyloggers, and if they gain control of your journal, they will systematically delete every single post there, and then they will attack any comms you moderate.
It sucks, but them's the facts. For a much better look at the problem, read
acari's post how not to become the next hacker victim.
