1 day ago I started using tumblingjazz software, created 14 accounts manually with 14 HQ private proxies that are not cheap

Edited all accounts with tumblingjazz, followed about 200, rebloged about 50 posts (most of them had links or html codes like ahref to url, because they was from specific adult niche and promote aff links) posted about 50 posts too(descriptions was with landing pages that promote cams NO REDIRECTS) and likes about 50 posts.

I thought that I should check how everything looks on mobile devices, tested on 2 phones. After visiting most of my blogs, they all was redirecting to strange links like "fix your android phone" and auto downloading some kind of apk files for adults into my phone. Even redirecting to crakrevenue offers. Checked blogs on my desktop and on click there was popups appearing with ads too. It is default tumblr theme Optica for all blogs.

None could edit something in blogs, except me, which I didnt.

Can anyone explain what is happening?

Do you mean:

1) URLs of your tumblr blogs redirected directly to other sites?

2) when you go on your Tumblr blogs, pop-ads appear and when you click on them, you are redirected?

Could you give the URL of one of your infected blogs?
 
Yes, they was redirecting from blogname.tumblr.com directly, but on mobile only.

Just when you clicked anywhere popups appeared with some random ads, mostly adult related.

Actually yesterday I tryed to change all blogs to custom html themes that found on google from these Optica themes and it stoped all these ads, but it looked really bad, not mobile optimized. Today I got back them all by loging manually to each and changing to optica themes again and it looks ads stoped for now. Checked over 5+ blogs right now. But what could it be...
 
So it was in the theme...

I have an idea, but it would be tricky ...

Someone edited your theme (I don't know who, but for the how, it's simple: this people has your logins). When you edit html theme, you can add things like ads: I know it, I do it for my tumblr blogs. You can add a redirection too, I guess (after all, it's only html code).

If I was you, I would change my logins and my passwords for my recovery emails (if you have recovery emails).


If you still have an infected blog, I would like to take a look.
 
I understand this that my theme was edited somehow,its very easy to inject codes like that, there is no other way this could happen, but how it could happen just in 24 hours after I started using it? You see, I created all my accounts and emails on my own pc manually, I am 100% sure none knew these accounts logins, especially so fast like in half day. I have one theory, but I dont want to say it here and blame someone when everything is not clear and I didnt got the answer yet.

Tryed to edit profile with tumblingjazz for a test and profile working perfectly. Not sure what happened that time. I will let you know if it reappears.
 
No, I made them myself, I already mentioned that. Even emails made myself and on my private proxies and my own pc browser.
 
No, I said I tested on 2 different phones. Also tested on desktop too. Even on my VPS browser and I was getting popups.
 
Hi, I am the developer of Tumbling jazz.

Your situation does sound strange. Are you using a legitimate version of the software or a cracked? If a cracked version, lets stop out investigation here as we have found the answer...

If you purchased the software, I can assure you the software does not do this - however you'll have to take that with a grain of salt, if the software did I would say the same. But you can check the BST and nothing is reported:
http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...-profesional-tumblr-bot-affordable-price.html

also the tumjaz support forum:
https://rootjazz.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=12

nothing reported.


So we are looking at
1) the theme. but you say it was the default theme. so unlikely there.
2) tumblr has been hacked and a worm of some kind is adding this code to themes - very doubtful without this being known almost instantly
3) your machine is hacked and your tumblr details are pulled from the HTTP comms between tumjazz and tumblr. Possible, but a virus to watch for tumblr? Doesn't sound very plausible.


1, 2 can be ruled out. Which leaves 3. This could be proved by creating more accounts on this machine and another machine. Does the same thing happen.
 
Hello,

Yes, I am using TumblingJazz from official site. I wouldnt believe that this could happen by your software, this is the last thing I would think of, because I trust you and this bot is with good reputation.

I am currently preparing 100 new tumblr accounts for new project and will let you know if something wrong happens again.
 
wow..this sounds kinda creepy..Looking forward to see your results with new set of tumblers.
 
Not every blog had this redirect, but most of them, all was in same niche so maybe rebloged same posts.Another theory is that reblogs caused that, I rebloged 50 in each accounts and all of them had some links/htmls, so maybe there is some exploit in tumblr, if someone other reblogs your post, that post redirects somehow to his links, it means it cause whole blog to redirect. But I cant believe it would be possible.
 
By the way, I am almost completed to mass edit all blogs titles/avatars with tumblingjazz it does very good job and blogs working perfectly.
 
Your blogs are all in the NSFW niche?
How many are you following, re-blogging , posting, liking per day?
 
Yes.
I want to test slower at first days and see what results I will get, 10 image posts,10 likes, 10 reblogs, 180~ follows, all actions at random times in like 6 hours, I try to make everything look more natural. I think everyone would like to see a journey from this. :D

Yes, That would be awesome to see a journey!! :)

Did you make 100 tumblers using 100 different proxies?
 
You should take a few minutes and run a full computer scan with MalwareBytes (https://malwarebytes.org) but this sounds stange.

And where did you get your proxies? If the proxy provider was not legit or if his servers are compromised someone could have logged your passwords and made the changes.
 
I bought 100 accounts from BHW provider. Not worth to waste time to make so much manually if they going to die in the end.

Bought 50 shared proxies, 1 proxy for 2 accounts.

Hope they dont burn in few days because of shared proxies and 2 accounts on each proxy. Safest would be 1 proxy for 1 account for sure.

But it doesnt matter if they burn in 2 weeks, I just want to get back my expenses and make profit. I will reinvest to more if they stay longer.
 
All my proxy providers from BHW.
