Frienditto

[rm]

From several of my friends -- all of this is via them, as I've had NO DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE SITE, but feel this meritted enough concern to repost here:

Watch out for Frienditto.

This site is an archive service that claims affiliation with Live Journal BUT DOES NOT HAVE IT.

There has been some concern over this site and security of LJ accounts. If you provide it with your login information for your Live Journal you give this service permission to archive your friends only entries and ANY locked entries of your friends for which you have access.

Please read the following answer to my support request regarding this site and be informed. More importantly, inform others.

Dear user,

Frienditto is not affiliated with LiveJournal in any way. As such, this website does not have access to any entries which are not publicly viewable. If someone provides them with their LiveJournal username and password, however, it gives this site access to all non-public entries that account would have access to. We can only recommend that you do not provide your username and password to any person or website to ensure the security of your account.

Additionally, if you believe anyone on your Friends list may have provided their login information to this website, we can only advise that you remove them from your Friends list. This website will have access to your Friends-only entries as long as any person on your Friends list has given the site access. If any content is present on Frienditto which you do not wish to be there, you will need to resolve the issue with that website.

Regards,

Scott
LiveJournal Abuse Team

If you are using this site I will remove you from my friends list. Additionally, I will be extraordinarily cross at you, either for being an idiot, or a malicious little freak.

Good god, this is the umpteenth time I've seen you on a place I've visited (unless people are stealing your icon--which I HIGHLY doubt). Do you EVER post anything positive? Are you just sitting at home all day looking for people to make obnoxious comments at?

(And to the main comment thingy, I wish LJ could/would do something about this. I don't feel comfortable at ALL with the idea of my locked posts being viewable. (Most of the people on my list I know in person. And if I took them off--woo, drama! :P)

I'M STALKING YOU!

p.s.: if you actually lock your posts so no one else could see them, you wouldn't have to worry. I would now like to raise my retard alert to Orange or "Elevated". Citizens should stay alert for idiots who make poor decisions and lack powers of reasoning.

Well at least that reply was amusing. I'm ok with semi-trolls who can make me smile.

And yay! I always wanted a stalker! I'm going to name you Barry.
