When was the last time you changed your dA password?

Like any account, your deviantArt account can be hacked.

What's the point? Why should you worry?

Well, if you have a paypal account linked to your dA (automatic withdrawal), an email address (with the same password maybe?) or you just don't like the idea of some strange person hacking your account, fishing through your art and possibly causing all kinds of shenanigans, that could lead to you being BANNED...

You may want to change your password.

One of the artists I watch has been hacked. :fear:

Want to know if you've been hacked?

-Go to the hover menu under your dA name on the top left of your screen
-Click "Settings"
-Click "Sessions"
-There it will list any sign ons under your account name. If there are any log ins under a computer you do NOT recognize, click "Force logout"

And then promptly change your password.

I'm proud to say I change ALL my passwords on ALL my accounts every six months, they're at least 15 characters long, and I never use any of them twice. :nod:

It's good of you to help keep people informed. ;) A lot of people don't think about these things.
