Frienditto takedown! LJ users strike back!

There is now an LJ community -- [livejournal.com profile] ditto_cops -- which contains a list of LJ users and communities which had posts on Frienditto. (This supercedes [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.
