Frienditto takedown! LJ users strike back!

[poltr1]

There is now an LJ community -- ditto_cops -- which contains a list of LJ users and communities which had posts on Frienditto. (This supercedes ditto_cop.)

Check to see if anyone you know is on this list. Then thwap 'em with a herring. Then give 'em a boot to the head. Then defriend 'em. Then change your LJ password.

Thanks and a tip of the hat to arkady for pulling an all-nighter in compling this list.

And while you're at it, enable the "spiderbot killer" in your settings so that search engines and their little daemonic minions don't grab your posts and make them available for everyone to see. (I know, it sounds like closing the barn door after the horse has left, especially if you'd had an LJ for a while and/or posted frequently.)

In other news, the Frienditto site was hacked but good, but it came back up a few hours later. Now they're asking for donations to cover bandwith and legal costs.

The list is the list of the victims, not necessarily the people who posted to FD. If a name is on it, it means at least one of that person's posts has been put up on the fd server. With or without permission. Please don't ask people to throw haddock at people who've already been taken advantage of.

Point well taken. Thanks. That point isn't very well emphasized on ditto_cops, and it should be.

As far as I can see, ditto_cops is simply mirroring Frienditto, and trying to make it look as if the people whose privacy has been violated are somehow the villains. Unless I'm missing something, ditto_cops is worse than Frienditto itself.

If you discover your own friends-only posts there, are you going to defriend yourself?
