Myspace?

I always always always caution my friends about double-checking the URLs for login redirects. I really think that that's how most people get their info phished, as opposed to just clicking on a link.

Those phishers I tell you, those login pages look so legit!

As far as I know, Myspace.com is my homepage, so I dont' think I logged into one of those fake sites.

=however= I got a message in my inbox a few days ago and when I opened it, my IE went crazy. I didn't recognize the person who sent it, so I think maybe that might have been it?

OTW- you mentioned something about tracker codes or whatnot in your profile... are those codes other people put in there to make your account do weird things like send out messages to random people?

Even though Myspace.com is your homepage, there are other ways you can get the fake logins. Say, for example, you visit someone's profile, and somewhere in that profile is a code that redirects you to a fake login page when you click on a link (Home, Browse, Search, Mail...for example). The only way to make sure is to doublecheck the URL.

And don't use IE anymore.

Tracker codes were created to track visitors, but once MySpace users went batshit crazy doing anything, clicking anything that might give them one that worked...a lot of phishers made new codes and falsely advertised them as trackers. Not sure what these codes really do, but you really shouldn't have em in there to begin with.

Sandy, your page crashes my Firefox before it even really begins to load, and I have no idea why since I can't load it enough to find out lol.

Myspace has the worst FAQ I've ever seen. It's totally useless.

That's really weird because I also use FF and I have no problems accessing my page. The only embed tags I have in there are the ones that play my music because I refuse to use the MySpace music player to play my music. I also have the Photobucket tags for my slideshows.

I wonder what's going on?

Dammit. Now I have the "sent email" problem. I changed my password. Is that all that needs to be done?
