I found a link in someone else's journal that said "This is interesting" with a link on "this" to http://sneak.datavibe.net/misc/lj/. So I clicked on it.

It made an automatic post in my journal, a duplicate of the entry I saw. (It also has a 1 pixel by 1 pixel image in there. not sure what that is for.)

It's an honest-to-god LJ trojan horse.

That's disturbing. It really puts into question the security of the site if someone can trick you that easily into autoposting.

They're talking about how to prevent this from happening on [livejournal.com profile] lj_dev.

the more frightening part is the "blah" image (a 1x1 gif) which it attaches to posts

I suspect it isn't a cookie stealer, but it is possible. However that bug in IE was fixed ages ago. He probably just uses it to track the circulation of the meme.

If this is something people shouldn't be clicking on, maybe having a link in your journal is not such a good idea?
