Thread Name: Tech: MySpace members - ** warning **
Subject: Tech: MySpace members - ** warning **
I read in Computer Shopper (UK)- this month that MySpace has had been hacked. Basically it is a worm and it affects members who are logging-in. Visiting a profile triggers a Quicktime movie which runs JavaScript and that creates a fake menu at the top of the page.
I guess the only way to tell is to look at the URL destination in the URL window but in my experience Google bars truncate the window and any Hack will play on that. Or read MySpace warnings.
The Worm logs your keystrokes and they can be used later.
