THE MYSPACE page of American R&B diva Alicia Keys has been hacked, using a technique experts say is highly cunning and likely to catch out many users.

Roger Thompson on the Exploit Prevention Labs Blog says the hackers use an image background href so that when users click the wrong part of a page, they are encouraged to install software that then puts rootkits on their computers.

"It’s a really interesting technique and its going to catch a lot of people because this is very media-rich page as are most Myspace pages there’s every expectation you’re going to see a video,” says Thompson on a Youtube explanation of the compromise. µ

I don't really do Myspace either. I used to but the servers kept crashing so I gave up. I haven't done another blog thing yet.

Myspace been having a lot of webcam sites spam people's inbox, and comment box a lot. Plus, It has viruses and spyware on their server.

I like http://bebo.com more as a social site then myspace.
