- Pix869, on 10/12/2007, -3/+33Why would anyone want to steal a 14 year old emo's e-mail address? To learn what the algebra homework is and why "Becky be trippin the otha day"?
- sabotank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+29couldn't have happened to a nicer site!!
- Itazura, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24そうごんな日本語コンピュタハク!
Would be a bit more appropriate. - dotMH, on 10/12/2007, -7/+24Yeah... MySpace sucks. :D
- Brad12088, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Could this be the beginning of the end?
We can live in hope. - electronaught, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18soogon na ninhongo konpyuuta hakku!
- msbeckman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17People still use myspace?
- Mexrocker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15MySpace has been down for the majority of today... AIM service was also down for a while today too.
I'm sure a lot of kids were/are going through some kind of withdrawal symptoms. ;) - MediaShipper, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16Yeah, like this is breaking news, it's *****
- Rhelim, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10don't ruin our dreams. please just let us think it was hacked so we may rejoice.
- Kyle660, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9It's like Pearl Harbor all over again. I got over the whole military base thing, but when they toy around with my ability to answer compelling surveys and post glittery pictures, I draw the line.
- shiftt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11So you've got this billion dollar company, owned by an even bigger multi-billion dollar company, and yet they're too cheap to spend a few million revamping and improving their interface. No wonder nobody cares when they get hacked..
- fober, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9CNN is reporting an surge in the number of hospital visits for slashed wrists.
- CaptShmo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7yeah, i saw that, i thought "hmmm"... then i remembered that the myspace site design looks like melting swiss cheese half the time anyways and went on with my life...
- 3dom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5myspace gets consistently owned by script kiddies..there's plenty of scripts that'll autoadd you just for browsing their page..
- dickeytk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5why was becky trippin?
- deannnnnn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Not hacked. Somehow MySpace F'ed up and everybody got a notification for the Japanese MySpace.
Or at least that's what I think after doing a little investigating. - kazuhima, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3the guy that posted the "verify your email address" thing in japanese, is the "Tom" of the japanese version of myspace. i believe it was http://jp.myspace.com . there mustve been some bug in the system that allowed the message to be shown to the american myspace side.
- UxPx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Good thing this is the first "MySpace is Hacked" story I've seen here in a while.
If some idiot put up a screencap of every bug he comes across we'd almost have as many articles of that as we do of how many times Steve Jobs reads his emails. :b
This is burried for lame. It is irrelevant at best. - RomulusX86, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5wtf is this "myspace"
- RobRush, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i agree, looked like a bug not a hack.
- TravisG5, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3yo i got a myspace and i got haxed. see i gots this pic from some website and then one day it changed and its like "don't steal my brandwit" and i like wtf and i ask my friend like '''wtf dude wtf is with my myspace'' and he like ''yo you got haxed''' and like yeh. my myspace is 'emoJo33xx' and my passowerd is 'joe' cause that's my name is that like safe enough guyz?

My God, I hate myspace... look what it does to the youth... just look. - lowbot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Looks like an old fashioned bug. Hacks like the recent XSS vulnerabilities dont appear in Hollywood magic like 'big text' that the least technical user would spot.
- volcompimp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Looked like a developer who ***** up on something. He had a picture of him and Tom on his profile.
- ragonamuffin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I made a flash movie that redirects you to a bunch of shock sites, and other browser exploit sites. I could put it in a comment, or anywhere. soon after this became rampant, they made a special version of flash for myspace that removed the possibility to do this. anyone who goes to myspace deserved this exploit.
- Brkwtzandrew, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Fellow Diggers:
Don't get your hopes up too high Myspace has not vanished from the face of the internet...
...yet - shibbay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.digg.com/security/Myspace_Hacked_3
I losed.
To quote shaitanx:
He works for MySpace. He's working on MySpace Japan with Tom.
He has hundreds of thousands of friends.121,725 to be exact. =p
Also, if he was hacking it, I doubt he'd use his real account..
Check out some of his comments..
Quote from his profile:
I'm Ozzie. I work for MySpace Japan and I'm here to help you!
Tom and I just started TEST version of MySpace Japan working together. There are still some functions or expressions that are not working right, but we will make them right by hearing from you.(with Tom, of course.) Let me know if you're confused by anything or you found some "uh-oh"s, hehehe. I'm also waiting to hear for things you want us to do on MySpace, something EXCITING!!! Anything is fine, just send me a message! - rdoger6424, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2pst= pacific standard time, different = 3 hours different
- BurntPickle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hack my ass. Looks more like a DB boo-boo.
- joshua5, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Complete hearsay based on nothing but assumptions, go blogosphere!
- senne, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1No hack at all! Screenshots look as messy as MySpace always does.
- Hayl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Myspace is for d__che-bags. Dugg because it is funny.
- FearlessFreep, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1What the heck is "Wednesday evening PST" and is it that much different from "Wednesday evening EST" or something?
- GnarKill666, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0They should have left it like that. Maybe people could have fake friends in a whole other country.
- adam7261, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1you must be one of the kids having these withdrawl symptoms ;-)
- Uberdork, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Bury
- CrackHappy, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4Rhelim - ROTFLMAO
- psych0fish, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2because its "cool" to hate on myspace.
- sodypop77, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2This is as newsworthy as Brittney Spears tabloid articles. No body cares - Nothing to see here - Please drive through.
- D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3anyone dumb enough to A. have a MySpace -and- B. use their real E-Mail address deserves to have their identity stolen...who knows It may be given back to them once the hacker realizes that it's worth literally NOTHING...
- thatsmyaibo, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5And all this happened Wednesday evening PST?...I thought all time zones had an "evening".
- Pix869, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2Syn: Don't tell me someone would STEAL A PASSWORD AND EMAIL ACCOUNT to spam that e-mail account.
:P
I bet you use myspace. - synaesthesia, on 10/12/2007, -12/+3Spam
- Zhay, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1To redirect the idiot to a site with ads?
