MySpace Hacked Phishing Error Message

Posted in Crime, Errors, Hacking, Security, Spam by Elliott Back on September 25th, 2008.

I was somewhat scared when I noticed this list of usernames / passwords for MySpace. Yeah, someone actually managed to hack my MySpace account, which is more incredible given that I don’t ever log into it:

Myspace hacked accounts 3/20/08
Here a list of myspace accounts and passwords

Example:
Username : Passwords get it ;)

MySpace is pretty advanced in this regard; somehow they detected that my account had been compromised and when I logged in now to change the password, I received this neat message warning me:

myspace-phishing-warning.png

MySpace Announcement: Your account has been phished!

What can I do?
Change your password. And don’t use your current password ever again. Why do I care? We’ve blocked your account until you change your password. This means you can’t send a message, post a bulletin, send a comment or add a friend until you’ve changed your password.

What does “phished” mean?
“Phished” means that someone stole the email address & password that you use to login to MySpace. They might be sending out messages, comments or bulletins as you!

How did this happen?
You went to a fake page that asked for your MySpace login email and password, and you gave them your info. Only login to www.myspace.com. Learn more

I’ve changed all my users and passwords now, but still it’s a tiring experience…

    All the “division by zero” warnings in your feed are amusing.

  4. When you changed your password for your myspace account did the “Your Account Has Been Phished” warning go away?

    I got this error, I've changed my password like ten times, the error never goes away and I can't message my friends - It's driving me nuts. I've contacted Myspace help but never get any replies.
