And for added mystery value, I can't see the picture :P

Yeah, I used the obscure format from the screen capture program. It's a bunch of wierd code, you're not missing much :)

That code is too tiny for me to read I'm sorry!

It gets bigger if you click! But the mystery is solved regardless.

LJ support says "We have temporarily disabled the display of all embedded content (e.g. YouTube, Flash widgets, etc.) We will have this content restored as quickly as possible." I've also seen it on strangedave and ataxi. BTW, most browsers don't display TIFFs.

We've had every available hand working on this since the first report. It appears to be an exploit using lj-toys, so we've temporarily blocked it. As soon as we have more information we'll update in several places, but this does not appear to be related to AdSense in any way.

That's a seriously nasty one. It edited my LJ!

I feel rather violated.

[alias_sqbr]

Me too :(

Thanks! They posted about it eventually but your comment was all I knew for a bit and made me feel less freaked.

I'd JUST been dealing with hacks on one of the comms I'm on, so was feeling paranoid.
