PoyBoy Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Well, I've been through google a lot, and can't make any snese of anything. My question is: What is the myspace hacking junk. Before the flaming begins I would like to say that I am not asking HOW, just WHAT has happened to people. I can't make sense of what is scams and what is real info on google. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armadaender Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 From what I've read, people create false myspace login pages (honeypots) for their victims to log into (probably thinking they're going to see some new image comment) and thus obtain their password. There are other ways to 'hack' someone's myspace page but if you really want to put forth the effort to do so, you may as well hang yourself. I have read an occasional story or two on digg or somewhere about a group of people who are sueing myspace over their accounts being hi-jacked. But most of the time its their own damn fault.

I seem to recall hearing something about this a month or so ago too. I didn't really pay attention to it because thinking of myspace makes me throw up a little bit in my mouth.

Sparda Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I always recommend the following to myspace users: Go here: https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm Copy form a random location of the bottom bar. Select to change there MySpace acounts password. Paste the new password in to the new password space and again into the confirm password space. Change your email address to a non-exsisting one. Submite it, close your web bowser. The ulimatly secure MySpace acount, one that no body (litraly) can logon to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most of the time its their own damn fault. yes there are many exploits for myspace... not just phishing users, but also editing your own cookie to a stolen cookie. OR the more harder way without stealing there cookie... by making your own cookie and encrypting it.... cookie contains victims email, friendid, etc etc. But you get the point. PLUS Javascript is filtered so its much harder to compromise a user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 The most infamous by bar was the "sammy is my hero" javascript worm. By the time the worm had made its way around the myspace network, typing "sammy is my hero" in google would list you every myspace profile there was!

davepwnt Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 people who fall for the "Login to myspace here" stuff are pretty dumb. Look at the URL. And then people who just give their passwords away are pretty dumb. The best way to keep your myspace from being "hacked" is don't sign up for shit wiht your email and password.

davepwnt Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I have myspace. I'm not worried at all that something is going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
degoba Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 You can also post java, and flash scripts on peoples pages. It is possible to post a comment on someones page with a script that will simply take you to a different page. Also just a note. I think it is a terrible idea to post personal info about yourself on such a public community. I mean there are absolutely no restrictions to viewing someones myspace homepage. Just the other evening a friend of my sisters got a call from someone in florida because she was dumb enough to put her number on her homepage.

davepwnt Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Myspace is trying the best they can to keep this social networking safe. They did stuff like people under 16 can't have public profiles, people over 18 cannot request anyone under 16. Things like that. On myspace, they made it so yo ucannot post javascript anymore. All they let you use is css, and html. Most people that get "hacked" are just dumb. And don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the reason that kids get to be part of adult communities and how adults get to be part of kids communities... it's not hard, unfortunately...

stingwray Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 My responce to that post is that you can grow up and realise that MySpace is really really crap and boring. Then you can go and find yourself a life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
