The MySpace saga continues:
Netcraft has discovered that the social networking site, MySpace, appears to have been compromised by phishers who have presented a spoof login form on the main site. This modified login form is designed to submit the victim’s username and password to a remote server hosted in France.
PCWorld Reports that the attack was shut down by MySpace around 10 a.m. Pacific this morning.
Apprantly the attacker had registered an account named login_home_index_html, therefore the MySpace page hosting the fake login appeared to be a legitimate place where users could sign onto the service.
If, as is typical with such sites, MySpace has a database of user names that are off limits why did they allow the registration of login_home_index_html ?
Beats me and just another reason MySpace is blocked in my household.
