Question Posted Wednesday November 21 2007, 10:05 pm

last week i clicked on the "new friends" button and there was some guy's profile who ive never met and i never got a request from him, he just showed up in my friends list. then today i looked again and i had some clothing company's myspace in my new friends list. again i didnt get a friend request and even if i did i wouldn't have accepted it. is this some weird hack, do i have to change my password...AGAIN?

yes. change the password. and change the password to your email. this problem has occured. and if you change it and dont change the one to your email--then they can get on your email and see what you have changed it too. so change the password to both.

Change your password. Hackers are always finding new ways to get peoples passwords and do things to everyones profiles. I haven't heard of random people appearing on friend lists, but you never know..
Change it just incase. and don't fall for any of the phishing scams, such as entering your password on any pages unless it's the official sign in page. (if you're already signed in, you won't have to sign in again to view things, so be careful. and don't click random links unless you're sure what they are).

I believe your account has been phished (another word for hacked). Change your password immediately, before this person causes anymore damage.
