I'm being phished!!!

[Mr. Smith]

OK, bear with me as both Fri and Sat night have been all nighters, with clubs closing at 6am and 8am respectively. I'm not exactly firing on all cylinders

Problem: I log into myspace and I have a notice saying someone has jacked my acc, I thought something was odd when messages from people had been read... Not by me!

So I changed password. I figured I better check for dodgy stuff, did a full avast scan and webroot spy sweeper scan, just a few tracker cookies... No biggy.

I get home, log into myspazz and... YOur account has been phished, again.

So... I know Peev has a nice little guide so I will have to follow that but any suggestions welcome... Also, does this mean ALL my passwords are getting jacked???

Thanks guys

maybe it isnt a problem with your pc...

does myspace have a lost password thingy, which asks a stupid question in order to retrieve it?

maybe somebody knows "the name of your pet" and hence can get your password?

Didn't myspace have a problem with firefox where people were getting logged in as other people? Something like that.

Serves you right for using myspace .

On a more helpful note, google the name of any process you don't recognize. Maybe even make a spread sheet of them so if any malicious ones appear you know what was there before.

There are several virus' on the myspace server afaik. Tom has hinted at some major problems in some of the newsletter things. One of which is a false log-on page that you get directed to when you click 'home' from infected profiles. And once your profile has the virus it will keep phishing your passwords. Basically i think youre stuffed but i dont think it goes beyond myspace.

Aaaah. This sounds spot on mate. Nice one. I remember being randomly re-directed to log-in... Damn.

Thanks to all
