Myspace.com hijack is currently spreading like wildfire

chaseandsam.com — Somebody has managed to hack Myspace with a flash redirect that exploits what is apparently a gaping wide hole in their code. If you are signed into Myspace, and you go to a compromised page, you will be redirected to a blog post containing a diatribe about how the U.S. government is behind 9/11 & your page will now be hijacked! Solution at link.

  • chaseathompson, on 10/12/2007, -7/+25I'm curious to know how widely this has spread thus far - when I last checked the blog that the redirect pointed to, there were close to 6000 comments that had been left. I imagine that this exploit is not just linked to that one blog, either, but to multiple ones.

    Is Myspace's code just that vulnerable?
    • Haroldx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+139As long as embed tags are working, myspace will always be exploitable.
    • CharlesDarwin, on 10/12/2007, -10/+151Ah ha! So there is an emo link to 9/11 after all...
    • volcomjerk, on 10/12/2007, -79/+165This is what ceases to amaze me... how stupid people are to sign up for something like myspace.com It's basically just a big ***** hole for people who like to stare at ads and browse an ugly slow website. Sure it's a place to talk to your friends and meet people but what the hell happened to calling each other up and heading down to the local liquor store and hanging out or the park?

      Yet 99% of the teen population still goes there... retards.
    • joel2600, on 10/12/2007, -28/+7also, one other interesting thing here is how is this spreading... i mean you have to post a comment to someone's page that has the malicious flash.... so the only way that this could spread if the people themselves are spreading it to other's pages.

      not really a virus, just someone using a really big message board in a way it wasn't designed to get their message out. i'm sure they say "thanks for giving me a method to send my message" and the rest of the digg croud is saying "thank you for poking holes in this atrocity that none of us want to look at" and 13-17 year olds everywhere are wondering what this means for the future of their cyberparent that is MySpace
    • jimbolla, on 10/12/2007, -84/+39Tired of your eyes and ears being raped by MySpace? Try Opera 9!

      The Opera 9 web browser (free from opera.com) has a feature called site preferences. What the feature allows you to do is selectively turn off and override certain "features" of webpages. For instance, for the domain myspace.com, you can turn off:
      Enable GIV/SVG animation
      Enable sound in Web pages
      Enable Java
      Enable plug-ins
      Turning these off elimates all the dancing spinning annoying musical ***** that plague most of the profiles on here.

      The last big annoyance is the Geocities-circa-1999 web design that is running rampant like wild fire... such as transparent red text over top of some busy photographic background... *shudder* To kill the garbage, you can specify your own style sheet. Thankfully Opera comes with one that works quite sufficiently... It is installed into "C:..Program Files..Opera..styles..user..Contrastbw.css" by default, and if as you may have figured out, forces black text on a white background.

      Oh and the built-in adblocking is nice too. No I don't want to help George Bush lift weights to win a free ipod. ***** you.

      This effectively reduces MySpace to its core value... angsty blog entries, pointless viral questionaires, and drunken sluttly pictures... and what a beautifully worthless thing that is!

      Score: MySpace: 0 - Jim: 1
    • thebeaz, on 10/12/2007, -30/+130@volcomjerk

      Because not everyone can always talk on the phone... and it's not about "hanging out" like you would at a park. I never wanted to be a part of that trashy site, but eventually did because many old friends are on there. I'm no longer in college, so Facebook isn't an option and no one has even heard of Friendster and the horde of other social networking sites. Also, many of these people aren't so good with e-mail (don't ask me why) but can easily grasp the messaging system of Myspace.

      Myspace is basically AOL 2.0, but it's worth suffering through it so that I can keep connected to the friends that I -don't- get to see all the time or live far away. Besides, it's just another step to helping technology ignorant masses get a little more informed about how the web works. I've seen some of the most technophobic people tweaking HTML and CSS code on their profiles. Sure, they barely know what they're doing, but it's a start.

      Blah blah... enough words. :)

      If you love Opera 9, you should check out http://my.opera.com :) And if you would like to help Opera out with testing you should watch out for weekly builds from the desktop-team at http://my.opera.com/desktopteam
    • bebop717, on 10/12/2007, -29/+73Finally one step closer to destroying myspace and shutting it down for good. Go hackers!
    • djkickz, on 10/12/2007, -17/+69@volcomjerk
      some of us use myspace for what it was made for, promoting out independant music to a wide audiance.
    • reconciledthief, on 10/12/2007, -9/+45It's kind of like an STD. People could easily stop spreading it, but do they, no, they click in ignorance.
    • PunkRampant, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10I just browsed through dozens of profiles and couldn't find a single one that was infected. Yes, I have too much time on my hands but I was very curious to see this hack. Couldn't find it.

      May have something to do with the fact that "Tom" temporarily disabled comments and messages half an hour ago. Maybe they've already fixed it?
    • mc7winkie, on 10/12/2007, -63/+11What boring ***** goes to myspace? Really. All you're doing is hanging out with 45 year old pedophiles named "sk8guy69", "Princessofpop43", and "sexigal58." So who really uses myspace? 15 yeard old ***** who know nothing about coding and 45 year old wackos trying to hook up with them so that maybe they can get some "hot" (Cause we all know that people put up fake pictures of how "hott" they really are) teenage ass.
    • mc7winkie, on 10/12/2007, -60/+8Again the digg comment system rears its ugly ass. I bring up a good point and it gets buried. Just like this, an equally good point.
    • BigKoi, on 10/12/2007, -21/+5"I'm no longer in college, so Facebook isn't an option and no one has even heard of Friendster and the horde of other social networking sites.

      @thebeaz,
      It seems that you validated volcomjerk's comments regarding the intelligence of myspace users....
    • mark1372, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26mc7winkle: If you think you're presenting a good point and then start calling people *****, I'm boggled why you are surprised people are digging you down.

      Also, people who complain in additional posts that they're being dug down are automatic douchebags.

      You say it's the Digg system not working. I say it proves that it does.
    • seventoes, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Why do 15 year olds who use myspace need to know coding? Myspace has nothing to do with coding unless you want to make your own template, which most people dont care about.
    • BitwiseMcgee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6djkickz: Better read that terms of service again, myspace _owns_ any music you put up on myspace for the duration its on myspace. They can do what they want with it. Sure, taking it down nullifies this, but its a pretty ***** TOS.

      Get a real net label, there are hundreds out there that can distribute music for free.
    • pbull, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6@seventoes:

      It's less about learning to code, and more about expressing their own individuality. In my experience, most 15 year olds care a great deal about being able to express themselves. The look and layout of their Myspace page is akin to the posters on their bedroom wall.
    • mc7winkie, on 10/12/2007, -14/+14Two words. Myspace sucks
    • mictester, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4Of course it's vulnerable, and always will be - as long as it's "running" on Windows Server with IIS 6. There are literally hundreds of ways to abuse that poor excuse for a web server. When this hole is patched, another ill be exploited.
    • Mike89, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Mictester, you're a moron. The web server wasnt exploited.
    • Himself, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@ jimbolla

      no thanks. there are several extensions (add-ons) for firefox that do just that... and have since fx 1.0.

  • Mizzy, on 10/12/2007, -16/+11Surprisingly, i haven't encountered this hack yet. But i got this bookmarked so thank you in advance.
    • compu73rg33k, on 10/12/2007, -51/+22You have a myspace? LOL!
    • willynilly, on 10/12/2007, -9/+13What you should take from this is not that you should watch out for the hack, but rather GET OFF MYSPACE and get a life.

      It is god-awful pathetic that people are now TOO STUPID to use E-mail, and have turned to MySpace's ***** public messaging system as an alternative.

      If your friends can't handle E-mail (something that most 80-year-olds can now tackle), you should start re-evaluating them. Hurry.
    • bebop717, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6@willynilly: Wow that is almost exactly letter for letter what I wanted to add. Thank god there are sane people still left.
    • foohookups311, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3If you have linux. This exploit wont work.
  • Rickler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+50Someone post a myspace page that is infected for those who want to see, like me.
  • chaseathompson, on 10/12/2007, -12/+1The site listed below is infected, but as of this morning, the redirect sends you to a blog that has been made private. I will try to find an active hijack that leads to an active infected blog later today.

  • ViperDaimao, on 10/12/2007, -32/+11People need to learn how to link to blogs. Here's the link to the actual post: http://chaseandsam.com/2006/07/myspace-hack-spreading-like-wildfire.html

    • helikopter, on 10/12/2007, -27/+8PWNED
    • ViperDaimao, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Yes, thats all nice and good, but it doesnt change the fact that its just a link to his blog, so as soon as he makes a new post, this one will be burried. Linking to the actual blog post is better for people clicking on this story in the future. Not sure why that's so controversial.
  • hello2usir, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33MySpace has been vulnerable to XSS for some time. I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner.

    • mictester, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2@ MalDON : This isn't a windows exploit, it exploits the site.

      It IS a Windows exploit - check what MySpace actually runs - Windoze Server with IIS.
  • zweben, on 10/12/2007, -44/+7Will this spread on a Mac? I would think it would but who knows.

    Not that I really care about my myspace profile anyway. It getting hacked would give me an excuse to finally delete it.
    • MalDON, on 10/12/2007, -3/+33This isn't a windows exploit, it exploits the site.
    • zweben, on 10/12/2007, -20/+5I wasn't talking about it screwing up OS X, I was asking if the exploit would be able to spread to your profile if you visited an infected page on a Mac. I don't see the point of digging down questions...

    • ThirstyFerret, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25While we all like to have a bit of a digg at MySpace every now and again, please don't take out all your anger on it here. What you have there is a gross generalisation, and I'm sure that there are many people who enjoy and benefit from using MySpace.

      Meanwhile, maybe MySpace and their users will get more "security savvy" now, and pay more attention to their security and stuff they have embedded rather than their javascript effects and flashing backgrounds.

Just live with it people.
    • justinvt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I don't think most people here have a problem with the idea behind myspace. It's the implementation that bothers us. It could be way cooler and way more functional than it is.

I think this comment sums up the dumb ***** attitude of people on digg.. unfortunately you cant delete a digg.com account because majority of Nazis on here think their comments about MySpace count for *****. go create something like MySpace, have a healthy IPO and watch everybody tell you you suck, laughing down at them from your new castle.

      + 4 diggs
      I guess it's a good thing I don't use MySpace. Myspace sucks balls anyways. :p Had to say it.

      you obviously suck balls because how can you put something down you don't use??? either you're lying about using it or you're using digg as your own middle aged equivalent of MySpace trying to get popular by following a crowd of 'MySpace should die' comments.
      does it hurt you that maybe these teenagers (umm and probably a lot of people up to 30 and well over) use it everyday and actually like it?

      All just jealous you didn't think of it first.. oh and 'the coding is so crap', well it might not be the best coding, but the value of the site is the community. How much is digg.com like MySpace by letting you put profiles of yourselves so you could say how big willie cool you are? Or any of the earlier social networks? YOU need to get lives and stop posting about why MySpace people need to get lives! bunch of ***** hypocrites. watch me get dug down by the MySpace haters.. bring it on!
  • POKETNRJSH, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4Facebook is better anyway
  • ExtremeRyno, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2I think it's great that people out there are screwing up MySpace. May be better if the message was something more entertaining. Tired of all the "hackers" out there spewing moronic political and religious babble. How about something fresh...like...Oh, hell. It's all been done. Feel free to exploit as many pages as you wish, guys. Just find something fun to complain about. How about an RIAA/Scientology conspiracy against the elderly? Find something people will actually read. If hijacking MySpace, make it something pertaining to the overall audience of MySpace - teens. I'm not sure what teenagers feel like reading these days, but I bet they could give a rat's ass about politics.

    As for MySpace users themselves, certainly the vast majority are 8 to 17 years old. Then there are the random people out there such as myself (and at least one or two other people from above) who are out of college and using MySpace to get in touch with old friends again. I've actually found a lot of people I used to hang out with again through MySpace. Pretty nice, and it doesn't cost money as others such as classmates.com do. It's definately not my life, and I probably log into the account twice a month to check messages for parties, etc. So as above: hijack ahoy!
    • tsoh, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Wow, didn't know My-space caused such a problem...Well any publicity is good publicity. I use My-space strictly for business (Since Feb 2006) and I've seen my podcast explode because of it. It's just an informal Craig's list to me, with the ability to network and stay in contact with contacts. I'm sad to read the hate for My-space but surely someone else has seen the business side of this phenomena....

    • WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2No. it's YOUR fault for not correcting them! :-)
    • robohoe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2How so?

      Is it my job telling people where to pee? Where to talk? Where to find friends?

      Certainly not.
    • lazlonger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I say you pee on Water Dragon, but that's just a suggestion, of course....
  • WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -8/+11Those of us who recognize the overwhelming, probative evidence of the actual complicity of the Bush government in the 9-11 'terrorist' attacks -- often feel desperate, as many people are not even willing to discuss the issue, or even to hypothetically consider whether it was an inside job.

    That is no way to conduct an impartial crime investigation.

    (they prefer to remain ignorant, following mere arbitrary beliefs, rather than applying reason and impartiality, and actually checking out the evidence!)

    Anyhow, I can see how the frustration may have led someone to use such an exploit of myspace, hoping against all hope that someone might begin to see te truth from the sites they redirected to (according to the article's description)

    But such desperate measures...probably just piss people off.

    And to end on a positive note...why doesn't Myspace change their name to My-BUTT!
    It's just a more accurate name.
    :-)
    • Captkidd, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Yep. Shame, such truths were told in such an annoying way. But how many teenagers got to thinking... I wonder?
    • noamsml, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3I have two things to say:

      1. Most of the time, conspiracy theorists are just spewing BS facts that sound convincing. The facts don't have to be correct, they have to *sound* correct.
      2. In such a huge event, with all the panic, it's easy to find someone whose story departs from what later became the version of the occurrence we know today.
      3. Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity
    • ninjaSteak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I agree, finally an exploit with a good purpose.
      Now if all those 'graffiti' kids would relearn the term "the writing on the wall".
  • aximbigfan, on 10/12/2007, -9/+5damn hippies.
  • cjc343, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Ahh... nothing makes me happier than reading about suffering myspace users...
    • WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Well then, why don't you go to /., and read about how their site is dying, thanks to the overwhelming success of DIGG....

      Haa ha
  • sunsetN!nja, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Maybe I'm missing something incredibly obvious here. How difficult is it to just, you know, not go to myspace if you hate it so much and think it's ugly? It seems rather simple to me.

    1. If you see a link to myspace, don't click on it.
    2. If you don't want to go to it, don't type in the URL. By taking these simple steps, you won't have to deal with pretty much everything here that people are complaining about.

    I mean, are you people just happily going out on your normal computing when myspace jumps out of the bushes and forces you at gunpoint to go there?
    • Strangers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I might be a bit presumptuous, but I, and a lot of other people, are annoyed by the fact it, and other things like "Crazy Frog" exist. It's not malicious, just hardwired to out brains :(
    • ricedog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4well maybe you shouldn't be so moved by the media and take control of your own life rather than blaming your lack of brain control on myspace.
  • ifonly, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Sometimes i make bubbles, but then my shower goes off, eh?

    But yeh seriously, steak pie is so good.
  • lunchbox170, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5Serves all you myspace users right. Myspace is retarded.
  • tranquilize, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4getURL();

    not really xss, merely myspace's inability to comprehend that allowing embedded flash will get you nowhere.
  • Silverphoenix55, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3 /cheer at whoever finally did it. Down with MySpace.
  • eyeaml337, on 10/12/2007, -9/+6another reason to SHUT DOWN myspace!
    • Soniti, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Shut down Myspace? Like that would ever happen. Get your head out of your ass.

      Myspace is here to stay, whether you like it or not o young digg teeny bopper.

      ~Soniti
  • glafira, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I figure it will be fixed before anybody can really get punked
  • volcompimp, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Are Digg users that detached from reality? Everytime there's a myspace story everyone has a ***** fit and posts a flood of anti-myspace comments and how they're so cool because they're the last person on earth without a myspace.

    Here in the real world, people use myspace and could care less if teens decorate their myspace to how they see fit because they are not on our friends lists. If you have no friends, thus don't need a myspace, I wouldn't be bragging about it.
  • badwolf77, on 10/12/2007, -12/+1hahahah you guys are hilarious...such a bunch of tosspot little elitist whiner bitches. Most girls don't know much about computer programming like nerds do (ie most of you) therefore they will be found in places like myspace where it is easier to manipulate and personalize your little corner of cyberspace, regardless of how open to hacking it is (go figure). so a wise man will go where the women are. You might want to look up women in the dictionary, they are those nice things with all the parts you dont have and so long as you are such ***** geeks will never get to touch. So in conclusion...myspace has its uses (I've got 3 dates this week from there...hah!). Peace
    • Shorties, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4"(ie most of you)"

      Sounds like you are excluding yourself from being a Nerd yet you just posted a comment on digg...
    • noamsml, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Intelligent and provocative, badwolf77s comment demonstrates with striking finality the revealing of the beastly nucleus in what is supposed to be a ***** sapiens. In this striking creation, he draws us deep into the realm of the pack animal, where a person is reduced to "going after the girls", and where sexual relations are valued above intelligent. This comment is a must-read for those who enjoy National Geographic nature films.
    • WiredLain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yes, but going after the girls ensures that our/their genes will be passed on to future generations.
    • cdcarter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I like boys though
  • david76, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5I don't know what's more pathetic, the exploit, or the fact it redirected to pathetic 9/11 conspiracy theory BS.
  • tsoh, on 10/12/2007, -14/+3Wow, didn't know My-space caused such a problem...Well any publicity is good publicity. I use My-space strictly for business (Since Feb 2006) and I've seen my podcast explode because of it. It's just an informal Craig's list to me, with the ability to network and stay in contact with contacts. I'm sad to read the hate for My-space but surely someone else has seen the business side of this phenomena....

  • whisperedlie, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3ohhhh... shocker there. myspace is frustratingly and poorly written. god forbid someone hack my page and i can't receive fake friend requests from girls that want to show me their "web cam" or more ***** surveys from friends (or more likely aquaintences) that i don't give a ***** about.
  • kinematic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Had a look at it earlier, here's what I found:

    (there's no ads or anything, it isn't a blog, it's just a page explaining how the hack/hijack worked which I threw together quickly :) - will probably post this as a new article linking to it in a sec)
