How do the myspace hackers do that??

This is done through something called "phishing."

Recently, myspace has required users (even those who keep their browsers open and stay signed in) to log in every 24 hours, for extra security. You have probably noticed that there is always a little warning that you need to make sure the address starts 'login.myspace.com.'

What phishers do is they post a bulletin with a link that looks like it will take you one place, but in fact takes you to a completely different website. That website they take you to is designed and coded to look EXACTLY like the myspace login page. In fact, they do it so well that it is impossible to tell the difference, EXCEPT by looking at the URL address. They use the exact same images, the exact same layout, even similar advertising. If you do not pay attention and simply enter your username and password, once you click 'submit' or 'login,' your username and password doesn't go to myspace. It all goes to the website that LOOKED like myspace, which is actually owned by the hacker. They can then log into your account, and post bulletins, advertising their product, and include links to phish even more people. (And I'm sure they have computer programs that login automatically and send bulletins, instead of it being a human person that does it.)

I've seen really tricky urls, too. One of them I saw was login.rnyspacecom.com, which if you look closely the m isnt an M at all, but rather a lowercase R and an N.

So as a rule, whenever you enter your password, make sure the address ends with myspace.com (can be www.myspace.com, can be login.myspace.com... as long as it ends with myspace.com, you know that you are in the correct location)

If you have fallen prey to a phisher, all you need to do is change your password, and from now on check the address to make sure you are still at myspace.com

If you download the firefox web browser, it includes a feature that will actually warn you if the site you are at is a suspected phishing site.

One thing I like to do to annoy the hackers is anytime I get to a login page that is actually a phisher's page, I enter the most random email/passwords, hit 'login,' then go back and do it about a dozen times. This will give them user names and passwords which don't work. If enough people start doing that, they will get way too annoyed and hopefully stop doing it.

Does this answer your question? please clarify if you want more specific details.

alright whenever you click on certain links you know that box that pop's up %26amp; tells you to login again? that's how. So whenever you type all of your information in, the hacker has it %26amp; can start making posts about how your boyfriend has a small penis. So basically when this happens instead of typing your info in just click on home.

Well they steal your password by either sending you a link or a bulliten then they'll ask you what is your password then you'll type it in then they have all they need. Most of the people that hack into myspace accounts arnt people but advertising bussineses that want to use you to advertise what ever it is that theyre advertising. For the record, Im not a myspace hacker but Ive been hacked. The best things to do if you've been hacked is to change your password. If you suspect at all that your myspace has been hacked, like if you posted bullitens that you really didnt or sent a message, just change your password. For the future dont put in your password in, only when you log on or type in your address bar Myspace.com
