Hi there,

Thank you so much for writing in.

During a database upgrade on Sunday night, an issue was uncovered that caused incorrect images to appear in the wrong places across Imgur, including Most Viral. Once the issue was identified, it was immediately resolved. This was not a hack, and no data or account information has been compromised.

We sincerely apologize for the confusion and inconvenience caused by this issue, and we're currently working to identify preventive measures to ensure this cannot happen again.

Please let me know if you have any other questions I can help to address.

Martyn
