MySpace users have been faced with a MySpace hacking scheme wherein malware writers have embedded a Flash-based malicious code in profiles, which redirect victims to an online outburst, which blames the US government for being responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Other reports also state that the visitor’s page has also been hacked into, therefore creating a domino effect of sorts.
Has this happened because MySpace is built on poorly written code? Or is it because it just darn simple to hack into MySpace? A couple of weeks back, MySpace was in the news for all the wrong reasons. The service was gloriously being used by online sexual predators to target minors.
