How to Prevent MySpace Hacking
He’s done it again. Rob has authored a very comprehensive post entitled: “Protect Yourself Against MySpace Profile Hacking,” which lays out how such a thing happens, and how to make it stop once it does.
This information is useful, but only to the 150 million or so members of MySpace.

Mate although it’s only relevant to MySpace users in the context in which I have delivered the information, it’s a good instructional piece where the lesson conveyed can be applied to all sorts of online scenarios.
Online banking sites also fall victim to this kind of hacking or “phishing” so there’s a lesson there to be learned by one and all… I just used MySpace as the example in this instance because I had a good example at my finger tips.
BTW… can someone “Digg” my actual Blog entry on this so I can pick up some traffic that way too? Cheers!

I think you may have missed the point of that sentence, Rob. You’re right though, an ounce of prevention and all that…

N0, no… I totally got the ounce of sarcasm in the “150 million” bit… and chuckled accordingly! I’m not that dry! LOL
