One thing you need to know about myspace.... your myspace page can easily be highjacked. If it ever takes you back to your login screen after you have already logged in..dont log in!!

That is fake login screen just there to steal your account. Sometimes when you hit the "home" link is when this happens, so be wary about using the "home" selection. It is better to use the back button

My niece got her account hijacked - but I didn't know if it was because of her my space account or she might have got a email virus -she always forwards those "don't break the chain" emails

I really don't like those kind -and so many just leave all the email addresses showing for everyone to see!!!!
all they have to do is delete the ones that show...before sending it.

My daughter just had her's highjacked. We think we might know who did this but I was wondering since I read this...is it really that easy to do....like anyone off the street could possibly do it and what could be their reasons except to make her start all over?
