MySpace hacking

Hannah got hacked again. This time the hackers didn't just send out bulletins full of Spam entitled "I am going to have sex!!!" - they deleted her "about me" section and her background.

Most people assume that there's nothing they can do about being hacked. They're wrong. Remember when you clicked on this image?


Yeah, that didn't send you to anyone's MySpace profile. In fact, that wasn't even MySpace. it was a website designed to look like MySpace so that they could steal your password and log into your account. MySpace hacking is huge - even Tom's been hacked.

What can you do about it? Here's my advice:

• Change your password the moment you're hacked.
• Use Firefox 2 or Internet Explorer 7, which warn you when you're on a fake login page.
• And always follow the advice on the MySpace login page that says "Look for login.myspace.com in the Address".

MySpace top eights

Someone pointed out yesterday that a person with only 4 "top friends" looks like they don't have very many. And, to be perfectly honest, I can understand why. So I bowed to the almighty peer pressure and extended my top friends to 8.

The thing is, it's so easy to miss people. And what if there are 9 people just as suitable to go in your top 8? Then what?

Then people get angry and annoyed. Arranging your mates is like playing with explosives. I've already had Minami leave the comment oh thats nice. *takes elliot off top friends*. And even though she was kidding, I can imagine huge arguments blossoming from this.

Why don't MySpace just have an option to get rid of your "top friends" section altogether? Because MySpace is rubbish, that's why.

Update: Apparently you can get rid of it. But it's not official, so MySpace is still rubbish.
