Check your follow list for “icodeforlove”

Seems there’s a new type of spambot/hack thing going around which means you’re FORCED to follow them.

You can’t even unfollow them the normal way because their page redirects to a 404, despite still showing posts on my dash. So the only way to do it is through your ‘Following’ list.

Just giving everyone the heads up. If this happens to me again, I’m changing my password.

they’re the person who developed tumblr cloud and their account recently got compromised, so i think cutting the connection between your account + the tumblr cloud app should stop the auto-following.

if you’ve used tumblr cloud in the past, you can revoke access on this page. i do suggest changing your password for the sake of consistency, too.
