Why do people hack into Myspace accounts? Mine was....and....?

ok mine was hacked into. i got on my home page and it said this thing from tom, said someone had "phished" into my account. so, i had to make a new password. what should i do now?anything? do you think it is better to create another myspace instead of just another password, or do you think that will be just as good and ppl wont be able to post any wierd bullitens or anything. thanks =]

well, a hacker is also a person. some can be good, other's bad. check everything on your myspace. is it normal or someone has messing up with anything ? because a bad hacker will really destroy you the first chance they got. or just silently use your account without you even knowing. ask your friend if they receive any strange mail from you etc. if not, changing a password will be okay.

from what i could gather, it seem you open your myspace using public computer (eg school computer) and forgot to log out. or accidentaly save your password on the computer, and somebody retrieve it. both can be done very easily. so be careful with what you do from now on ^^

back to topic, as I said before, there's good and bad. and in this case, it is either good hacker (because telling you to change password) or stupid hacker (want you to be frightened), but i *think* it is the first case. so change your password should be sufficient....

*edit* I forgot to mention that if you use same username and password on more than one account. you need to change them all. the basic mindset if you have someone user/pass is trying on the other site (to see if it's working) so change it all

it wont help if you delete the account and start all over, this has happend to me. all you have to do is change your myspace password and your e-mail password, because if they hacked into your myspace they can get to your e-mail password.

you should just make a new password, this happened to my friend, and she just changed her password and the bulletins and stuff stopped :)

tht happened to me too but it might have jst been something wrong w/ myspace. because it did tht before. but if not, jst be sure tht you changed your password so tht they can't go into your account.

Definition of Phishing:

In computing, phishing is a criminal activity using social engineering techniques. Phishers attempt to fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. eBay and PayPal are two of the most targeted companies, and online banks are also common targets. Phishing is typically carried out by email or instant messaging, and often directs users to give details at a website, although phone contact has been used as well. Attempts to deal with the growing number of reported phishing incidents include legislation, user training, and technical measures.
