We've been friended by one of those Russian bots. This one's journal is named "cbriju."
The bots make a profile and copy-paste some random crap into it.
I just reported it, but keep a look out for more of them.

Nobody's really sure what the bots do... they think it's data mining. It's a fresh warning, though, to never post anything remotely personal outside a friends-lock. The bot gets access to all your public entries, and those of your friends. (It has been noted that those "porn-star name" memes are rife with info that most people use as their security question... mom's maiden name, street you grew up on, etc. Go lock those.)

More information here.
