bulletins that you didn't post?
Current mood: annoyed
Category: MySpace
are you finding bulletins in your list that you didn't post? maybe comments sent to your friends that you didn't post?
you can stop this by changing your password! a spammer has access to your account. they're using it to market their junk to your friends via YOUR bulletins and YOUR comments. fight back by changing your password!!
now how did they get your password? it's called phishing. somewhere on myspace you clicked on a link, profile, page - something, and you saw the myspace login page. but wait - it wasn't really the myspace login page. it was a FAKE LOGIN PAGE. that fake page was created by a spammer who is waiting for you to enter your email and password. once you've done that, he's stores your info. then he runs scripts to send bulletin spam and comment spam on myspace.
so don't fall for the trap - check the address bar at the top of the page and make sure you never login unless you're on "myspace.com". to be totally safe, type 'myspace.com' everytime you see the login page. if you type in myspace.com, you'll know you're on the right login page.

Myspace has been in the news so many of time lately on their security issues. Yes people can hack into your acct and then do as they please. There are many virus that linger within myspace. In my opinion myspace has very poor security measures.

He should probably change his password again. That's be the first option.

yeah, the dumbass got his password stolen. tell him to change it and make sure it says myspace in the URL before he types it in.
