I thought Spam and phishing was related to Facebook and Twitter, but we have another one in the list, MySpace. Reports state that users of the social network are under a spam attack that gets access to their accounts. The message is quite easy to keep an eye on and invites users to make $ in summer. The users are falling for this attack via the links present in users’ status messages. The hack exploits a security vulnerability in MySpace, the flaw hackers know about and are ready to exploit, but MySpace still needs a day to get it fixed.
