Scammers Go Phishing for MySpace Passwords |
Friday, January 19, 2007 |
Parents, you may want to warn the MySpace users in your house about another phishing scam, and make sure your browsers' anti-phishing tools are working. Brian Krebs at the Washington Post warns that an active scam web site that looks just like the MySpace login page seems to have stolen user names and passwords from nearly 60,000 people. It lures users via junk emails blasted to MySpace members. Check out the full post and you'll find a list of commonly used passwords that were hijacked by scammers. As Krebs writes, if yours is on there, get another one. If it's not, change it anyway, especially if you use the same passwords on several sites, which is not a great idea. Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 and Mozilla's Firefox browsers identified the site as a phishing site. So did Netcraft's anti-phishing toolbar. This latest phishing scam follows a password-stealing worm that may have affected as many as 100,000 MySpace users in December.Labels: technology
