Important Information!
DO NOT CLICK ON THE 'THIS IS INTERESTING' or 'WHOS SAUSAGE IS LONGEST' LINKS YOU MAY SEE IN YOUR FRIENDS LIST. IT IS A LJ HACK THAT WILL STEAL YOUR LJ PASSWORD AND POSSIBLY LOCK YOU OUT OF LJ (BY CHANGING YOUR LJ PASSWORD). IT IS ALONG THE SAME LINES AS THE RUSSIAN 'NAME' MEME THAT WENT AROUND YESTERDAY!
If you *do* click it, your password was sent to the owner of that website. You should change your LJ password *immediately*, and sign off, then clear any cookies out in your browser before signing back into LJ.

PLEASE READ THIS AND POST IT INYOUR OWN JOURNAL, AND YOUR COMMUNITIES. PASS IT ON!!!
EDIT:
Or alternatively:
LiveJournal is aware of this meme and its effects. However, LiveJournal volunteers have investigated and determined that there is no direct security risk from this meme. It does not have direct access to your login cookie, nor is it able to read or remember your password. Rather, it uses JavaScript to tell LiveJournal to update your journal using the password stored in the login cookie on your computer. (Because of this, it will only work if you are currently logged into LiveJournal when you activate the meme, and if you have JavaScript enabled.) Although the meme does trigger a one-time update to your journal, it does not retain any of the information necessary to make future posts, and cannot affect any other aspect of your journal.
