Do you think Myspace is being hacked or going through maintenance?

Question

Seems to me that Tom would give us a heads up if Myspace was going to be down for maintenance.

Answer 1

Crackdown.

Answer 2

hi
i've been having this problem too, the error message i get is this:

'Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.'

so i tried my Seamonkey browser instead (i don't have IE explorer, i'm running Ubuntu Linux as an OS)

Seamonkey says:

'Redirect Loop
Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked
The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.
* Have you disabled or blocked cookies required by this site?
* NOTE: If accepting the site's cookies does not resolve the problem, it is likely a server configuration issue and not your computer.'
i've heard that myspace is suffering some virulent hacking right now. i cleared out my cache and cookies, but to no avail.

i am only able to login by using a web proxy:

http://unipeak.com/

from that address i enter into the box provided:

http://myspace.com

and click go!

then i'm able to login to my myspace account and see that it's been slaughtered. i'm unable to post a blog or change my password at this time, but i AM in, and i can post text to my front page.

so, try the unipeak web proxy and if you get in at all, try to change your password to something really solid.
good luck!

Answer 3

No, according to my sources, it is not planned maintenance, but, a problem arose with their website that forced them to apply and update which may disable some accounts temporarily.

Answer 4

It is pretty random. I have 2 accounts and only one works. I hope it's only maintenance...
