CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD OFTEN! at least every week or so
Change your privacy settings so people have to enter captchas when they comment or message you. THIS WILL DICREASE SPAMMERS, as well as mass comments!
If you see suspicious comments, messages, or bulletins or any sort of advertising that says for you to visit a site outside of myspace that person who sent/posted it was most likely hacked/spammed/phished be sure to tell them about it!! or else they wont know they were HACKED!
Eventually you won't even be able to LOG in to your account!
Here's how they usually steal it:
They post a message, bulletin, or comment containing a flash file. It might be disguised as a game, or lately there's one that says, "click here if you like to smoke pot" or any type of suspicious link. But in reality, it's just a trap to steal your MySpace.
Without you realizing it, the flash file automatically redirects you to a different website Where the thief has set up a copycat of the MySpace login page. What it looks like to you is, "Oh, stupid MySpace logged me out!" And so you enter your username and password, and bingo! They just stole your profile and login information. Since you were on a copycat site, it didn't log you in. It just stored the email and password you entered in a big file, that profile thief is going to use your account to spam more people
But the danger doesn't end there. The person who stole your profile knows you can change your password and lock them out of your account. So now, they try to take over your profile entirely. If they see your email address ends in yahoo.com or hotmail.com, They go to your email login page and try to log into your email with the same password as your myspace! Many people use the same password for their email and their MySpace if you're one of those people, now the thief has access to your email, too
once they have access to your email They can start sending lost password requests to PayPal, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, eBay, or anywhere else you might have an account, and they can now reset your passwords on other systems, and even change the email address on your MySpace profile to their own address so you can never login again!
Don't be fooled into thinking that MySpace will let you back into your profile once it gets stolen and you can no longer log in.
MySpace will ask you to send a digital picture of yourself so they can see if you are pictured in the account that you say was stolen. If the spammer has deleted all of the face pics in your profile [which they usually do] then MySpace won't do anything at all because you have no way to prove the profile is really yours.
But if they see your picture in the account you say was stolen, MySpace still won't give you access to the account they'll just DELETE IT! so now the spammer can't use it anymore, but you will have lost all of your messages, photos, and comments etc! and you'll have to start all over again :[
If it EVER looks like MySpace has logged you out, NEVER enter your email or password! Instead, type 'www.myspace.com' in the address bar or hit home!! make sure you are still on the real MySpace and not a copycat!!
