Fortunately, the owners of the affected account did post both bulletins and blog to report the "bug" or what is actually account hacking. This is a screen shot from the bulletin received from my friends at my space www.myspace.com/lansdowne
It is important to periodically visit your account because those looking to use your account for fake bulletins could more easily get away with it if you don't visit often. Since the bulletins only stay in the system for 10 days, if you show as an account that hasn't logged in for months you could be easy target. Also, many times when you log in and only go to your home page without actually visiting your profile, you would not be aware if your actual profile page has been compromised. remember to visit your profile also, not just your friend's profile pages.
Defend your Myspace. It's one thing to fix the problem, but reporting it helps prevent it from happening again.
Blogs will be posted with other tips on protecting your accounts at myspace and other networks.
