total silence, I just follwed your link and I think that looks like one of a rather famous set of polaroids taken by none other than Andy Warhol...
this is all very worrying

An other thought. Are people who have limited who can see their photos affected, too? Or is it just those of us who have gone public?

Clearly not, or she'd have done it... And who would we have to complain to then?
55 out of my 860 have got the dodgy photostream image - some pixilated, most not. Two are porn, the rest aren't. Some are, in fact, very good...
No rhyme or reason to either the photos affected, or the ones appearing.

ah good. someone from Flickr has noticed, it seems to have taken at least 45 minutes since the first post about this, it seems to effecting all sizes so I wouldn't be surprised if we dont loose some image originals... might be a good idea to shut down until it is sorted as it seems to be effecting a lot of people

brindy, don't make people panic with non-info. What would "compromised" mean here? IMO, it's just a database hicckup, they'll revert to a backup and / or let some scripts run around and tidy things up.

I doubt very much if it's "hackers". It's most likely an issue with the database that controls which images are displayed where. A single number wrong could do it.
Nevertheless, it simply seems far too widespread and random to keep in up and running until resolved in my opinion. Some of the images will end up cached on people's systems so better to nip it in the bud now.

When I uploaded a new photo, all of a sudden a different photo (not mine!!!) shows up. It is also heavily pixelized. Kind of scary. What the heck is going on here? Looks like a hacker to me. Someone is having a lot of fun with our pictures...

same problem here...
the thumbnail shows my original photo, but in the photopage there is a totally different photo (and not mine for sure). When clicking in the different sizes though, I see mine...
probably there's a hack in the preview photos...
should be fixed. Even if it means suspending flickr services for a while...

goran_zec, the images that are different/changed are stored on flickr's static web servers, meaning that someone must be changing them since those images are created at the time you upload them to flickr. the urls generated for thumbnails on the page have the same image id as the bigger pictures, so it's clearly not some "database hiccup".
in any case, it's never a bad idea to change your passwords once in a while, just in case!

I am having the same problems as everyone else (photos that aren't mine showing up in my photo page, slideshows, and thumbnails). Each view seems to have different photo errors. For the short term, until the problem is fixed, I tried changing my profile to private, logging out, and then searching for my profile--It was still public.

I agree with others who say that Flickr should take all images offline until they can figure out what has happened. As far as I can tell I don't have any porn in place of my images, but I would certainly hate for that to happen, and for that image to be in some browser cache somewhere.

At the moment, this just an annoying glitch - it ain't a real problem until your actual photos start changing!

Problem I'm having is with smaller sizes of the pics. If you click on the wrong image, when you see the photo proper size its fine. So something very screwy going on. Oh and if you don't like the random pic you have over the top of what should be there - press refresh on your browser and mine seems to change. Very weird problem indeed.

As you can see you pics by clicking on all sizes, it hopefully is no hack but just a bug... a big bug though.
I've noticed, that the URL of freaked out images is almost equal to the real URL despite the URL parameter v. Copy the URL of some broken image and replace the number xxx in ?v=xxx with any other number (i.e. 0 or 1) - you should see your original picture.

Disclaimer: I have no relation to yahoo or flickr whatsoever!
My personal suggestion to all Flickr users: please don't delete your photos, don't upload new ones for a while, don't re-upload photos to try to fix them, don't make your photos private. Don't touch anything!
This is bad, really bad, but nothing you do will improve anything. The random photos will still be there, no matter what you try to do.
Please Flickr staff, just take the *.static.flickr.com machines down. Better to show a broken image than other people's photos.

Yeah, site should be down till this is fixed. I have not seen anything not safe for work in my stream yet, but various size options in my photos are not like the others. I dunno whether they have been hacked or a major database screw up though I have the feeling hacked and it will take awhile (days i know from being on the IT staff of a group who had to restore a metric f*ton of data in one go) to get it all restored.
