Shoryuken — like a number of news/entertainment outlets on the internet — uses the Disqus comment. The platform’s ability to let readers join in on discussions through a single login has made it pretty ubiquitous. It also makes it a pretty big target for spam.
Recently, Disqus made an announcement regarding a new series of spam attacks on their system. The attacks seem to involve spammers being able to edit user comments and place spam links in them.
While Disqus has already implemented measures to curtail the spam (including temporarily preventing the editing of old posts) we highly recommend that people change the passwords on their accounts just in case. This can be done by going to disqus.com and going to the “Account” section under “Settings”.
