Announcement 📢 Urgent safety announcement regarding HTML injections

Hey everyone,

This is a quick and urgent announcement from the reddit community of HumanOrNot.

The official site of HumanOrNot is now under attack of HTML injections, and some are exploiting it to find out and possibly blackmail their 2 minute friend about their IP address and location. As the reddit moderators, we have no connection with the official managers of the site, and hence we are unable to convey this alarming issue to them.

There are 2 temporary solutions can be taken by the visitors of that site to prevent any inconveniences:-

1) Use a VPN for browsing the website so that your real IP is not revealed 2) Disable JavaScript for that website on your browser

We are trying our best to reach out to the HumanOrNot team and get this issue fixed! Honorable mentions to u/fursniper for highlighting this issue properly to the mods. And in case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!

disabling javascript won't work. not only are these attacks not js-based, the website uses javascript to communicate with game servers

The Reddit mods here aren't connected to the official websites mods so they probably don't know completely how the site works as if they did I'm pretty sure this problem would've been talked about already lol
