How is it so easy for people to hack into your accounts on MySpace if your password is not that easy to get? I don't understand.. I know that some people use the HTML to make a fake page, then somehow when you enter your info like your password, the hacker gets it.. I don't get that either. How can someone make a fake page and then when you enter your info, they get your password? Is there some sort of embedded link or something that sends the info back to the hacker? Can anyone help me figure out why and how these people are doing this?
Ok, one answer I got from this question was that whenever the person enters their password into the password spot then the info gets sent back to a data base. My question is, how are they getting their fake pages to pop up on my computer? Thats what I don't understand. I'm the only one that has access to my own pc, so how are they doing that???

There are web pages called cookie grabbers. A cookie is a special file that is stored onto your computer when you login to any "account-based" website. It also contains your login information. Some people set up web pages called cookie grabbers that reach into your computer and steal your cookie file. You can try logging off after using myspace. Also, be sure that you spell myspace right when you login, the people who set up their cookie grabbers may name their domains by common mistypes.
You can also clear your cookies.

they probably change their web address so it's similar to myspace but has a (slightly) different address, than they redirect you to their site. then after you give your login info they log you into myspace and you're none-the-wiser that they did. if you are using internet explorer, than go to spoofstick.com and download their free product called 'spoofstick ' than install it. it shows you in plain language what the address of the web site you're at is. hope this helps you!
