On myspace, there are a selected few that seem to have their profiles hacked or something of the sort. It's obvious by the bullitens posted that they don't have control over what is being typed on their account. Should I delete them off my friends list to protect my account?
And by the way, I recommend letting your friends know that someone has their password. So they can change it, and the hacker can't get their personal information. [ LagunaBabe's advice column | Ask LagunaBabe A Question ]

Two, to keep your account safe, make sure you always type in the address bar www.myspace.com yourself. [ xcheerbabex108's advice column | Ask xcheerbabex108 A Question ]
PinkLady4863 answered Sunday January 21 2007, 1:13 pm: no, having them as friends will not cause your myspace to be hacked
in fact, the culprit is when you log in.
when you open Myspace and login, make sure the URL address is Myspace.com or myspace.com/login
often when you are searching, signed in, a screen will pop up sayin 'you must be logged in for that'
MAKE SURE THE URL ADDRESS IS MYSPACE.COM
the reason for this is, spammers created a site identical to the login page of Myspace, it redirects you many times when you go to login. When you type in your password it will redirect you back to your home, but they then have your password. Once they have your password it is all downhill from there.
Also, in your Heros section, if there is soemthign that sayd 'but most of all nathan is my hero'
erase it, change your password
he is a hacker
he isnt a spammer, so he probably wnt post bullitons, but he tends to screw things up every once in a while.
so if you every do get the spamming bulltions, just change your password and they will stop. tell your friends to change their password, and make sure you check the URL Address before typing anything in

ASAPcamille answered Sunday January 21 2007, 11:54 am: dont delete them. it means they clicked a link, which causes bullitons to automatically post. you cant get it if you dont click the links. those people who have it should change their passwords, IMMEDIATLY>
