Malicious code found in Imgur files

[Isamu Baelor]

Just a heads up, someone found a way to add malicious code to Imgur files. It only got found out today.

Right now, it's just DDOS'ing some sites, but there's the potential for some bad stuff.

So you should probably avoid using the service, or opening any images hosted on said service.

Here's some reddit stuff about it.

Guess it's good I don't use it for my own stuff, then...

The Imgur team says that the problem has been patched and only affected a specific sub-reddit (source). They recommend clearing cache and cookies to prevent lingering code.
