MySpace: Your Account Has Been Phished!
O Rly? MySpace is now letting users know they’ve been phished. The only problem, is that their detection is wrong. I left a comment on my friend’s profile that included an image. It was pretty clear cut. If that is all it takes for number one social network to restrict your account, then we have a problem.
[UPDATE] Learn how to prevent your MySpace account from being hacked, in this follow-up!
Here is what the “You’ve Got Phished” notice looks like:
I understand that false-positives might happen. Perhaps this slipped past their QA. Not having a means to verify this or submit feedback, is a real shame. You’d think that MySpace would have a corporate blog to communicate changes and collect feedback, but they don’t. Rest assured, you can contact them if you want to advertise on there. Why not let users know (in the form of a blog) about upcoming changes. Bulletins and account notices like the above are weak, misleading, and feel like ads.
Has spam and phishing on MySpace finally hit a breaking point? All my messages and friend invites in the past year have all been spam. Frankly, this annoyed me because it adversely impacted my experience and coined mistrust in connecting with people on the network. I think that they are scrambling to find a solution and honestly, many users will be affected.
Before any pro-MySpacers claim they have an “aggressive” stance against spam — Prove it. Besides only having poor communication to solicit user feedback, I just received another invite from a woman in NY who is apparently ‘on cam right now’. Their apathetic and ignorant approach to resolving problems early (such as spam) is why users are turning to other social networks.
What are your thoughts on MySpace phishing and spam?
Stumble it!

Hi Uriel,
Unfortunately, I’m not affiliated with Myspace. I was simply documenting the problem so others can see it too. Your best best is to get in contact with MySpace over on their website.
To contact Myspace go to http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=misc.contact and follow the guided system.
Good Luck,
Joe

Hey Guys!
Im so fucked up with myspace!!!
Whats wrong with this “phished-thing”
I get this message every 5minutes and have to change passwords ALL THE TIME!!
Furthermore you have no chance to contact myspace.
This isnt the first problem i have with myspace. I tried to contact them about 30 times; but every time the same–> no response!!!
I like this community a lot and i think its really sad, that there are somany problems.
I think myspace hast do sthg about all this problems. I think without chaning something seriously it will go down with myspace in the future.

Christoph,
It happens to me too. Basically what is happening, Myspace has a spam/phishing detection and it flags your account. It’s a pain in the ass, so no doubt users will be switching in no time.
You could check out AIM Pages (if you have an AOL or AIM screen name), or Facebook. There seems to be less spam and hassles on those networks. We all know, its only a matter of time until those are infiltrated by spammers and phishers like Myspace.
April 21st, 2007 at 10:07 AM
yeah your right!
im just so tired of this little problems.
But for now myspace is very important to mee because of my band.
Its getting more important than website these days, i think.
So for now switching isnt working for me=(
well see what the future brings.
April 21st, 2007 at 1:09 PM
Soooo… just today, I’ve had to change my password FOUR times. I keep getting that same message. WHICH, by the way, is written like something that sounds like spam. Now I’m paranoid that it’s not Myspace at all, and that the message is really a way to get people’s e-mail and password! Okay, okay, maybe I’m stretching, but saying, “And yes, this is really from Tom, & no this isn’t fake. No one can change your home page except MySpace. Bad guys can only edit your profile, and login as you. They can’t change the page this appears on, so you know this message is real. So please change your password and be careful so you don’t fall for it again. :)”, sounds made up!
I wrote to Myspace, and I will be VERY surprised if I hear back from them.
April 21st, 2007 at 2:11 PM
yes I am having the same problem as everyone else, Ive tried to change it 20 times and its messing up, but rest assured, I think tom will sort out this problem! To everyone I hope. I noticed that it says ‘You must be logged in to do that!’ on the sign in page after you change the password, I think that is very dodgy, so whatever you do, refresh the page so that it doesnt have that above the sign in. Try this first and if it doesnt work get moaning to Tom - and fast! and I mean the real tom on myspace not a fake one lol
April 21st, 2007 at 2:56 PM
Nina,
Myspace was also compromised earlier this year, releasing over 25,000 user’s e-mail addresses (usernames) and passwords. People who would like to think they can do damage control on the PR issue of this don’t realize that 90% of MySpace users use the same password throughout other online services.
I find it not only irresponsible of Myspace not to address the issue, but also potentially liable for any cyberstalking, harassment, hacking and identity theft that may occur.
For the sake of informational quality, I’ll link you to the online source referencing the compromised accounts. LOL myspace hack - General [M]ayhem
Thank you again for commenting.

Hi!
I’m having the same problem.. have to change password every 2 minutes or so, so pissed… dunno why this happens :S
April 21st, 2007 at 3:27 PM
another peice of advice from what I said above, I think you might have to refresh the page a few times even when you have sorted out the problem, when you type in the link, to make sure you dont log in, because the problem is starting again with me. But if you do get phished again, try what I have noted down above, making sure you sign in without ‘you must be logged in to do that!’ over the login. Many thanks to the maker of this blog so I know somethings happened to myspace
April 21st, 2007 at 7:49 PM
theres a site
April 21st, 2007 at 7:49 PM
theres a site
April 21st, 2007 at 11:08 PM
This just happened to me today. Basically, I had to change my account 8 times because every time I logged on, there was a message saying that my account has been phished. I’m getting annoyed with this. If I logged on more times today, I would have to change my password more times. And the thing is that I didn’t even post or sent any messages so I don;t know how my account became phished. Sheesh.
April 21st, 2007 at 11:23 PM
This is ridiculous. Honestly though, I can’t believe this is as widespread as it is. This past time I changed my password, I left for an hour or so, came back, re-logged on, and was “phished” again without my computer doing anything in that time.
April 22nd, 2007 at 3:54 AM
Just Fhil,
Don’t worry, you weren’t really phished. If it happens more than once, it is Myspace’s detection for spammers/phishers. They obviously need to fix it.
~J
April 22nd, 2007 at 5:30 AM
I am still having the trouble, again, even when I refresh it, so this is something only myspace can sort..
April 22nd, 2007 at 2:05 PM
i hear you man the same thing happened to me.i was send my friend some pictures off woman in html code.And next thing i know i get “Your account has been phished!” and now i changed the password but every time i send code on a post i get punished for nothing.cause they thing im a spam bot.well you know what there other site just like myspace like “tagged” “ringo” that don’t do this to there users.on all of them im ” halfbreed32171 ” without the quotes.But ya im about tire of not being able to send picture of an animated html code to my friends cause myspace don’t have there stuff together.Cause they think im a bot or someone stole my password.Well im human so let use act like a human and learn.instead off getting restricted for learning code.And i hope they resolve this soon cause if they don’t..ill have all my friend delete there accounts right along with my own and will go on tagged or ringo.and its easy as hell to forward a message to all my friends to leave myspace and join one of the many sites like them.
April 22nd, 2007 at 2:43 PM
same shit here
April 22nd, 2007 at 3:13 PM
does anybody know how long it will take myspace to resolve this?
April 22nd, 2007 at 3:59 PM
I am having the same problems! This really really sucks!!! Did anyone experience this problem and finally got it resolved? If this doesnt get fixed I might have to make up a new page (which i really dont want too). I thought i was alone here !!
Let me know! Thanx
April 22nd, 2007 at 8:25 PM
This happened to me today but I’m very intelligent, so I didn’t panic. I, like the other poster, thought that that phishing message looked a bit shady. I went to my e-mail account that I use to log into MySpace. I went to the original e-mail confirmation message I received from MySpace when I first created the account. I clicked on the link to verify my account. It took me to the MySpace homepage and above the login box it said “You Must Be Logged in to Do That”. I logged in from there then a message from MySpace popped up and informed me that that phishing page is from a phishing site. It showed a sample url that might show in the address bar from a phishing site (http://www.myspacel.com/index….. note the “l” after “myspace…”). If it’s a legitimate MySpace page it will only have “myspace.com…” without anything after “myspace”. So it allowed me to unblock my account but it required that I click on the bar to have an unblock e-mail sent to me. Indeed that e-mail from MySpace was sent to my e-mail account. I clicked on it and when I returned to myspace I was prompted to create a new password. Once I did that my account was back in action. Just try to run your anti-virus/spyware/adware/security scan (like Norton/McCafee, etc) afterwards and remember to delete your cookies and temporary files frequently. Go to “Tools” on your brower and then click on “internet options”, then delete and choose what you want to delete then press OK for each.

myanon’s comment is right!!! i did that and it worked. THANK YOU myanon!!
April 23rd, 2007 at 11:58 AM
Thanks for the valuable help myanon!
May 29th, 2007 at 8:53 AM
my acount is blocked and will not let unblock it,……………..
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:33 PM
When it says that to me I goto change password…
And the picture doesn’t even show up.
I even try refreshing but still nothing.
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:42 PM
I have the same problem than Chris, I cannot reset my password because their captcha doesn’t show up.
I did a Yahoo search and you’re site was the first result, at least I’m not the only one affected by these false positives :-/
July 2nd, 2007 at 7:58 PM
I had the same problem today. It show’s up saying Your account has been phished!. I go to reset the password but their captcha will not show up. Reload, right click/show picture, properties/copy going to the link, etc…. nothing, i can’t get the damn captcha code. Did any of you have any luck!?
Thanks,
Will
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:02 PM
I CANT GET THE VERIFICATION PICTURE TO LOAD WTFFF
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:03 PM
YES! the very same is happening to me this very moment.
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:03 PM
Same here, code won’t come up. Really starting to stress me out! Can anyone help?
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:04 PM
Count me among the afflicted…same thing, but what’s more - there’s never been a moment that I’ve logged in anywhere save the actual login screen itself. captcha code is not appearing, and, as mentioned, they’re asking for your password. If it smells like a fish…
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:04 PM
can’t get the captcha either. if anyone can find a solution to the captcha image not loading problem, please post it here ASAP. it’s really annoying me.
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:06 PM
Since it seems to be a sweeping problem, I’d hold off…see if Tom doesn’t figure out that someone’s phished HIS site…
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:08 PM
Haha it’s a fucking joke this!
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:13 PM
I really hope Tom figures this out or I might have to make a new account which is a pain in the ass to get all of your friends added again…
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:14 PM
Myspace will always have people in droaths simply because it seems like everyone is already on it, so leaving becomes difficult because you think you’ll lose touch with all those people. Just bring the ones you talk to frequntly to another network. Anyone reading this should head on over to another networking site, I have a suggestion -

July 2nd, 2007 at 8:19 PM
Yeah, I keep getting this same problem. The captcha code doesn’t show up. I emailed Myspace and I hope they have a solution for me.
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:20 PM
yea - same problem here! His Myspace IM says he’s online but he’s certainly not answering. So are we really phished is the blocked account page bogus - I’m angry and concerned…
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:20 PM
Is there really not a way to make the security code show up in order to change the password????
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:21 PM
Tom just posted something about the phishing captcha, he said it’s too strong and to not worry, he’ll fix the problem soon:) so be coo
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:22 PM
I don’t like being cool…I like trowing temper tantrums about stupid stuff like when i don’t get my way exactly at the moment I want it
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:23 PM
if you got locked for being phished in the last hour, it’s a bug! we’re working on fixing it right now. sorry about that! the mechanism to detect if your account has been phished has been very powerful for stopping phishing, but it went a little haywire just now. things should be back to normal soon! if you’re wondering what phishing is, read my blog
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:23 PM

July 2nd, 2007 at 8:24 PM

July 2nd, 2007 at 8:25 PM
The captcha showed up for a few seconds, but then the image broke. wtf??
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:26 PM
so if I havent really been phished then why does it say I’m online - my husband has a page and if you go on his it says Im online - but IM NOT!! What is going on????
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:29 PM
Hello Shala - we can’t add you - we can’t log in to our accounts! Hello!!! Are these really the people fixing the problem?
Sorry for being rude but I’m frustrated!
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:31 PM
I’m having the same problem with the “Your account has been phished!” and I can’t see the verification code. I’m concerned cause I was getting a LOT of hell for a video that was featured today and some of my other ones. Even had someone threaten to kill me so you can imagine my concern when I saw this crap. ARGH!

July 2nd, 2007 at 8:37 PM
meanwhile I’m getting about 2 friends requests a minute (a ding being heard in the background from my myspace IM) - is this all part of the bug? I seriously don’t know that many ppl that have myspace so I can’t imagine who these ppl could be and I’m really annoyed I can’t see you they are!
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:41 PM
so will this be fixed in my lifetime??
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:59 PM
this shit is pissing me off too… it says my account has been phished and i go to click the link at the bottom to unblock my account and it asks me to change my password but the captcha code wont show!! i’ve tried refreshing the image, reloading the page, right click - “show image”… and nothing! my account has been locked for about an hour and a half and i’ve been trying to unblock it but i keep not getting the captcha code image… i went into my backup account to talk to my friends and guess what? …yeah it happend again… grrrrr!!!
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:03 PM
I’m so done with myspace, this happened to me and I suspect because I tried leaving an image on a comment to a friend during her birthday. This is incredibly ridiculous and a pain in the ass. I’m sick of Myspace problems, who needs this? I’m DONE
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:06 PM
I didnt do anything but put avril’s GF video on my page - an hour later bam I’m hit with this phished crap!

tom said he was gonna fix it, but jeez this is taking too long, I was model networking, trading messages with a potential agency, and now this shit happens?!?! i hate those stupid captchas, i hate putting them in everytime i update my page. epecially when i type it right and it still says i did it wrong! ugk!!! lame…facebook doesnt do that me. they love me.
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:14 PM
myspace you stink!
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:20 PM
It seems that it was finally fixed. At least I don’t have the phished message in my home.
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:20 PM
Has it been fixed yet…it’s 11:19 CST time
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:21 PM
Well, I’m glad to hear that this is a bug they are just trying to fix. But I did fix the problem with the Captcha code. I right clicked on the image where it is supposed to appear, and i clicked on properties. I copied the Address (URL) and i entered that into my Internet Explorer. Or, you can right click on the page itself and click on “View Source” and then find the URL in there. Refresh that URL a few times and it will show up. Just go back, and enter the code, change your password and it will be fixed. But you might have to refresh the URL a few times. But that seemed to be the only thing that worked.
I know the frustration hostile17. 2 Months ago my account was locked and then it was deleted. I know for a fact that my account was not “phished”. I believe it has something to do with their automated system in trying to detect spammers. I guess I was sending out too many emails to my friends, or maybe it had something to do with my comments, or maybe my friend requests, etc… No clue, but I know for a fact that my account was not phished. And I was not spamming! And of course, I never got any response when I emailed their customer support.
Anyway, if this continues, i’m agree with hostile17. I’m done with myspace.
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:23 PM
did you log out and go back in?
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:24 PM
No, the problem hasn’t been fixed. I’m having the same thing happen. When i go to put in a new password and they want you to enter the text from the picture—-no picture is there…just the box with the red x in it. please help!!! It’s 12:24 eastern time
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:25 PM
i wonder if ppl could be marking a friends request as spam and that’s how it happened? I tried all that source stuff - hubby is a sf engineer and we couldn’t figure it out… i’ll try again I guess…
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:32 PM
so I guess I am part of the club too as it says I have been phished and can’t type that damn verification code in either because its blank and the red X. anyone know when this is gonna be fixed? I sent a message to customer service, but will most likely not hear anything.
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:35 PM
follow will’s advice above to be able to access the text for the captcha. however once i got the “secret code” it still says that it was the incorrect verification code…so, no luck yet for me.
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:39 PM
ahhhh! it worked for me. it finally showed..i’m sure this isnt the last time
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:44 PM
I finally got the image to show up after waiting and waiting as it downloaded from security.blah blah blah… And it let m unblock my account…
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:44 PM
I’m having the same problem as everyone…saying I was phished and no captcha. My account, my husband’s, and my group’s are all having the same problem. It’s been down for hours. None of my pages have the Tom bulletin about it being a glitch showing…does anyone that has the problem have it, or only the working pages?
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:45 PM
glad it worked. just make sure when you get the url for the code, don’t refresh the main page where you copied the code from so that it won’t reset the code.
hopefully by all this time, tom will fix things so we won’t have these problems in the future!
take care!
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:46 PM
Omg Will it worked thank you!!!
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:46 PM
Also I got the captcha as suggested by right clicking the red “x” and copying the url for the image, pasting it in a new browser tab. The image shows, but when I put the captcha code in, it says it’s incorrect.
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:47 PM
Okay, no sooner that I posted that last…the captcha showed up and I was able to unblock my account.
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:49 PM
Hi Michelle
yes, open a new tab, but make sure that you don’t refresh/reload the main page where you copied the captcha url from. give it a few tries in the new tab with captcha url, you might have to refresh a few times to get the code. once you do, go back to the page you copied it from, enter it in along with your password information. and it should work with no problems.
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:51 PM
Man this is sooo phucked up!!!! i just got phished today.. i didnt know what the hell it was.. i thought i was the onlyone it had happened too. and whenever i try to change my password,it wont let me change it?? wut the hell is this about. i cant talk to know one comment any one.or even post a bulletin.. this is gay.. when will this shit be fixed???
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:55 PM

July 2nd, 2007 at 9:58 PM
So hold tight people…all three of our accounts are fine now. The captchas showed up on the “change password” screen just fine a few moments ago and I was able to unblock all three accounts.

July 2nd, 2007 at 10:04 PM
Mine is fixed. I followed the link in the phishing message and was able to see the captcha and change my password to unblock. I suppose everyone’s may not get back on track at the same time.
July 2nd, 2007 at 10:30 PM
captchas are working now.
July 30th, 2007 at 8:44 AM

Your account has been phished!
You’ve been phished! We have blocked your account, until you change your password! This means you can’t send a message, post a bulletin, comment or add a friend until you change your password!
Your account has been phished. This means that someone stole your email & password. Since we were able to detect this, we’re giving you a chance to change your password now. This will prevent the evil phisher from logging in as you and sending spam comments, emails and bulletins and editing your profile. Change it now, and you’ll be safe! And yes, this is really from Tom, & no this isn’t fake. No one can change your home page except MySpace. Bad guys can only edit your profile, and login as you. They can’t change the page this appears on, so you know this message is real. So please change your password and be careful so you don’t fall for it again.
To change your password and secure your account please Click Here
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I have clicked I have changed my password it unblock my account. I send a message it phishing. I repeated this so many times I can’t even remember my password. What am I doing wrong? If this is the way myspace works then I’m out of it and I will have to tell others of this problem I have had,and that MySpace isn’t that much fun. My kids got me started on this and it hasn’t been that much fun so far. Please get this straighten out so I can enjoy your site. Thank You
October 7th, 2007 at 6:35 AM
6 months has passed since this problem seemed to have started, and im experiencing it A LOT now! just tried to message a few friends - some send fine, others hit me with “your message did not pass the spam filter” - and for posting comments i sometimes get just “error”. Have there been any recent developments lately because i dont even want to use myspace to contact friends now purely because i fear ill have to change my password for the f-ing hundredth time today!! grumble grumble
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:27 PM
It simply boggles my mind just how godawful MySpace is, even after all this time. Frankly, I wasn’t that impressed when I first saw it, nor when I made an account, and it just went downhill from there when I eventually got my first friend request from someone whose pictures weren’t allowed on MySpace. By the time they got around to adding a Spam button, I was fed up with it. Facebook FTW.

Myspace was initially the germ of a major SPAMMING effort…and it worked. It was not a viral effort. The company formalyl known as euniverse or something along those lines with millions of emails that they spammed a few years ago to get myspace going. Myspace now is a corporate monster using its patrons, and people are falling for it. It’s generating tons of money and doesn’t give a damn how it goes about its business. Think about it, there whole detection of SPAM, etc is automated!

So has anyone figured this out yet? I just got the message. Is it or is it not fake? I don’t want a history I just want a yes or a no, and if it IS real, what should I do?

OKAY!!! For everyone wanting to know, this is how you fix it:
1. Go into safe mode (not in Windows, on MYSPACE) and go to your comments. Delete ALL comments that have Html in them, specifically the ones that have bull crap ads like “stalker tracker”, “iPhone giveaway”, etc.
2. Go to your account settings, go to Miscellaneous and disable HTML from EVERYTHING. Take it off of your comments in pictures, blogs, etc.
3. Change your password.
It’s not a trick, it’s just myspace reacting to your crap comments. I had them too. I messaged myspace 28 times and they actually messaged me back. SO, It’s not a hoax. It’s your comments and HTML, so take care of that!
