Why is this happening to my MySpace profile, and what can I do about it?

Question

I was looking at my friend's profile on MySpace and it appeared as if I had posted a Macy's gift card message as a comment on her profile. I wrote her another comment explaining that somebody might have gotten into my account and posted it. I don't know how it happened, no one knows my password, but just in case, I changed my password. I then realized that the same comment was on all of my friend's profiles! Also, some stupid bulletin was posted that I didn't post, so I quickly deleted it. Has this happened to anyone else? How did it happen? What can I do to prevent it?

Answer 1

You entered your password on a fake MySpace login page. (In other words, you got phished.) Now that you changed your password, this shouldn't happen anymore.

Make sure that if you type in your password on a page, the address begins with "www.myspace.com". And don't do those stupid things that say "Click here for a MySpace profile tracker!" and lead you to a login page. Those are fake.

Answer 2

Myspace is full of BS thats why i deleted my profile and stopped messing with it.i always had these porno adds popping up posing as a friend request.also i had something that said "flevoland"? usa when i live in florida, i did not put that there..i guess it must be pretty easy to hack into, someone have have a name or password very similar to yours and the system didnt recognize the difference and let them in, who knows. When you dealing with anything on a computer it is subject to errors.

Answer 3

You were probably phished. This has happened to LOTS of people before. Just change your password, and you'll be fine. And the next time you log in, make sure the URL actually says Myspace.com.

Good luck :)

Answer 4

wow, you saved a format on there for 4 years? i alter mine each few days =P yet, i think that the explanation why that exceeded off is using the hot coding that has befell on myspace.
