MySpace Users Phished Again
By: Priyanka Pradhan   |   Oct 29,2006
Popular Social networking site, MySpace is victim to another phishing attack by one of its users. Reports say that a fraudulent login page was created for other MySpace users, so that hackers have access to usernames and email addresses. The information was then sent to a server in France.

According to analysts, the hackers took advantage of the way MySpace organizes URLs in order to give the fake log-in page a believable Web address, something that could confuse even security-conscious users. The attack was launched from a profile page with the user name, login_home_index_html, using specially crafted HTML, to confuse users.
