Phishing Alert: MySpace

Websense® Security Labs™ has discovered a phishing attack that attempts to steal the account information of MySpace.com users. A hyperlink is first delivered to victims via AOL Instant Messenger. Users who follow this link are taken to a fraudulent website that spoofs the MySpace.com login page. This page captures their MySpace account information and then forwards the user to the actual MySpace.com website.

The fraudulent site also sets a cookie on the victim's computer, which prevents the phishing attack from being displayed on any subsequent visits.

The phishing site is located in California and was up at the time of this alert.

never click on links without knowing the source. :)

I'm wondering if it's the same as r nspace.com (except without the space.)
Where they get your password with the fake log-in page.

Clicking on links (especially those sent via emails or AIM/Instant Messenger du jour) is never a good idea.

Exactly what I was thinking, lmao. But that's a pretty realistic duplicate. Eh, I wouldn't fall for that stuff 'cause I don't click on links sent through AIM unless it pertains to something in the conversation 'cause I'll know it's not a bot.

definitely had it happen to me,
on accident one time.
it just posted random bulletins from me...
and that was all.

I changed my password and everything is fine.
now, everytime I get one of those screens,
I immediately press "home" on my browser
to see if it really logged me out or not.

I didn't know about the AIM-sent links. I just know that the way phishing started was through phony, spammy bulletins that told people to enter their password to add a friend's "new" MySpace. It happened to three of my friends and they all freaked out till I told them to change their passwords. -.-

I've gotten one of these fake pages before.

Fortunately though, I got lucky, because while I was logging in I noticed something odd about it, I think because my password didn't pop up automatically as it usually does. Something like that.

I think there are bulletins that says "WAY BETTER THAN MYSPACE!!! 11" and I can pretty much tell that they don't post it because the links are like HOT LOCAL SINGLES blah blah blah.

I think phishing has become a problem now. D=

HEY everryone-

I just registtered for this free dateing website. It's a lot better than myspace these days if you wanna check it out. So join up, and search for my pics, by signing in with this link--

HOT LOCAL SINGLEZ!! ca1

way better, huh?

HOT LOCAL SINGLEZ!! ca1


^And this is what the bulletin says...

I am 100% positive that my friends won't post that...

XD.gif I told some girl at school her myspace was hacked and she didn't get it. So I was just like "Ok, just change your password." and walked away. I don't even know her but her myspace sent me a spam message twice lol.
