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?

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).
