Your Blog Was Hacked: What To Do?

Your blog was hacked: what to do?

If you see weird pics of ladies with dubious links posted on your blog out of the blue, here’s a step by step way of stopping this and preventing it from happening again that I think might work.

Important : this only works if you can still access your blog!

Changing your password is important, but it won’t do you any good if your hacker still has an opened session on your blog and can still access it. So the first thing you wanna do is close your hacker’s session.

For that you need to go in your blog’s settings:

On the new page opened, scroll all the way down. There, you can see something called “Active Sessions“. The first and oldest one (”current session” in green) should be yours, the new one should be the hacker’s session. To close your hacker’s session, click the gray X next to it.

Now that their session is closed, they can’t access your blog anymore unless they enter the password again.

So don’t lose time, go all the way back up and change your password immediately. Make also sure your hacker didn’t change your email address.

Now you should be safe from your hacker. But it won’t prevent you from getting hacked again.

If you really want to be safe from hackers, you should turn on the “Two-factor authentification” option (on the same page).

It requires you to enter your phone number, which is a bummer. But if it’s turned on, everytime you wanna log on (so not if your session is already opened, but only if you log off and try to log on again), it will send a code on your phone that you’ll have to enter (in addition to having a password).

That way if someone tries to hack you again, even if they get your password right, they won’t be able to enter your blog without having that code.

There it is. I hope it will help some of you, since I see more and more people noticing blogs being hacked

Reblog this if you’re in the Percy Jackson fandom

i’m a fine arts student doing my thesis on production design for an animated series adaptation of percy jackson for university. my proposal is to use tumblr as a primary platform to promote the hypothetical tv show and i need a measure of how quickly information can spread through the sheer power of tumblr (specifically the pjo fandom) we have six days to get as many notes as we can and prove our point. pretty please? :)

My opinion on the situation

Since everyone else is making their opinion on Dream’s q-bait address known, I thought I’d dip my toes in this shit filled pool.

I know I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. The reason why some of us question our favorite cc’s sexual orientation is because we’re looking for more ways to relate and connect with him. Of course, there are a large amount of assholes looking to fetishize it, because this is the internet.

But after his address, it was made clear that Dream doesn’t give a shit about labels. He’s just Dream. He’s just Clay. He doesn’t let labels define him and I think that’s admirable. Of course, as a queer person, it’d be great to have my favorite cc be a member of the LGBT+ because I look up to him and I just want to identify with him more. But ultimately, it doesn’t matter what I want. He doesn’t owe us a label, he doesn’t owe us a romantic relationship with George, SapNap, or anyone, and he doesn’t have to fulfill our fantasies or expectations.

Do I think Dream is straight? No. Do I think he’s queer? No. Dream is just his own person.

The people that accuse him of queer-baiting are just as bad as the shippers that fetishize gay man. They force labels onto people and treat them like some kind of fucking spectacle. It’s gross.

I’m glad Dream is comfortable with himself enough to actually show affection towards his friends. I’m glad that he’s normalizing saying “I love you.” to your guy friends. He was never queer-baiting, he was just making jokes and loving his friends.

In summery, don’t force labels onto people, don’t fetishize gay men, and don’t make an ass of yourself.

do I care about the citizens and the fate of a fictional nation more than I care for my own health? yes. should I care this much? probably not, but who’s going to stop me? god? the universe would stop growing before I loosen my heart’s clutches on this block game.
