Hole In MySpace Security
"duping MySpace users into clicking on a rigged link, perhaps in an online forum or bulletin board that routes them to a file that steals passwords and other information" ~smh.com.au (Aug 4)

It seems that there's a hole in MySpace security that allows hackers to very easily gain access to your MySpace profile. From there they can become you, change your site and possibly even infect your computer with a virus using your own computer's cookies.

This is really scary. All they have to do it get you to click on a link somewhere and they're in, in your computer that is. Who knows what kind of terrible things they'll do once they're in there. computer viruslinks' are very dangerous, both to your computer and your stress level.

I'm sure MySpace is not the only one with this problem. Now that the problem is out in the open, sites like MySpace will be sure to put security measures into place to prevent this from happening.
