Password change isn't working - myspace


Question Posted Saturday April 21 2007, 9:07 am

Apparantly my myspace had been phished and I changed my password through the link in Tom's announcement (which he states is what you should do in the FAQ), so how come now everytime I edit my page (all my info had been deleted) and I go back to my home page my account has suddenly been phished again? What's up with that and does anybody how I fix it? I've read the unhelpful FAQ and I've changed my password at least 6 times, to random crap that nobody would ever guess. I've also even changed my e-mail adress for myspace. It's ridiculous. Anyway, has anyone found a way out of this?

tom posted an announcment a couple weeks ago about this. if changing your password doesnt work, then go into edit profile, and there should be a code at the bottom of your about me section that you didnt put there. delete that code, and change your password again. that should work. and as the other people said, if you click something on myspace and it brings you to the login page and says you need to be logged in to do this, and you know your deffinetly logged in, check the url. if it doesnt say myspace.com, then dont sign in, becuase thats how they get your password. hit the back button until you get off that persons page. just be extra careful.

good luck!

Before you log in each time, check the URL. If it doesn't say MySpace, x out the site, and type the myspace URL in. If you're still getting hacked, it's a best bet to delete your account, make your new password super hard, and to always check link.

If you don't wanna go through that, then email Tom.

Being Phished means someone hacked it. When you sign in to myspace or are on myspace at any time, check the URL in the address bar. If it says rnspace instead of myspace, that means you're being phished & either sign out asap or do not sign in if you haven't yet. The hackers use rn instead of m because if you glance at the URL quickly they look the same. Other than that, email Tom. Not everything is on the FAQ list. Go to Tom's myspace page & send him a message about it. It should work after you change your password, but since it hasn't, it would be a good idea to email/message him.

-hope that helped!♥
