Topic: CAUTION! Tumblr Links are redirecting to Adult Camsites

Posted under General

Just a warning, was just archiving and doing stuff and I was seeing if an Artist Kimsan-Stuff (https://e621.net/posts/1598180) was the same as Kimsanarts (https://x.com/kimsanarts), when I went to click their Tumblr (As it was a 2018 Artwork) clicking on their profile would not go to the Archive, instead it would redirect to xxhotscom an Adult Camsite possibly full of Malware

I don't know what the fuck Tumblr is doing but quite frankly it's fucked years and years of content

I assume the artist deleted or renamed their Tumblr at some point and then a third party claimed the username and redirected the page to somewhere else.

Since Tumblr allows customising your blog it's pretty trivial to redirect it somewhere once you've claimed the username.

OOF sounds like a security oversite to me
