Hacking my space


















Man, I'm worried now too because his site says it logged my IP address and I should be prepared to be hacked. I wonder how long every morning does this kid stand in front of the mirror and convince himself that he's a hacker. After that he goes on writing about all sorts of outdated crap, including Internet Explorer, hacking Myspace accounts, and decorating the desktop. Just read through his website, especially the documents that he claims to be "the sacred documents of the internet.

Just because you can reduce fractions in your head doesn't make you any smarter than an average high schooler. And about your friend's name: "A handle will help those identify how you want to be percieved. For example, if you want to come across to people that you can accomplish the impossible, dividesbyzer0 is an exceptional name to go by since the division of zero is impossible. Put the " h4x0r h4ndb00k" down. I see all this bashing on people too much on tech forums.

Date of Birth? Please enter the account owner's birth date here. We based it off your Facebook details. But you can pick one that's 25 characters or less and includes a letter.

Numbers, dots and dashes are ok, too. Select one Female Male Unspecified. Connect me to Facebook friends and artists on Myspace? You may already know people on Myspace.

If we find matches from your Facebook friends, we'll connect you to them right away. Tell my friends about Myspace? We based it off your Twitter details. Connect me to people I follow on Twitter? If we find matches from the people you follow on Twitter, we'll connect you to them right away.

Tell my followers about Myspace? It validates just three pieces of information: name, username, and date of birth. Names are found on the profile itself, and you can discern the username from the URL so, for myspace. The only tricky part is the date-of-birth, although you can figure that by sleuthing on other social networking sites. Once you have obtained those three pieces of information, you can essentially break into any Myspace account. Following responsible disclosure best practices, Galloway informed Myspace of the vulnerability in April of this month.

The company sent an automated reply, but has otherwise failed to act. This inaction forced Galloway to take action into her hands, and she has publicly disclosed the vulnerability while it still exists. Myspace has a checkered record when it comes to security. Last year, the company confirmed the leakage of million user accounts. Researchers believe this is one of the largest data breaches of all time. Update: Myspace got in touch.

A security researcher has discovered that it's relatively easy to abuse this mechanism to hack into anyone's account. All a wannabe hacker needs is the target's full name, username, and date of birth. Security researcher Leigh-Anne Galloway disclosed the vulnerability on Monday. She says she informed Myspace about the vulnerability almost three months ago and the site hasn't acknowledged or fixed it.

Myspace did not respond to a request for comment. Obviously, we're not in anymore, and very few people still use or care about their Myspace accounts. But Myspace, which last year had to admit that it lost the passwords of more than million users , should still take care of its users' security, according to Galloway.
