Your MySpace is probably "hacked"...

[wikked]

...and you didn't even know it.

1.] Log-in.
2.] Click Edit profile.

3.] Click the Safe-Edit mode.
http://www.wikked.com/images/myspace-hack2.jpg

4.] Click Images.
http://www.wikked.com/images/myspace-hack3.jpg

All of YOUR images should come up as broken (i.e. not work)
You'll see which ones have been hacked, because they've been replaced by some other ones! I had a cat and some little kid in mine! wtf :stare
Wish I woulda done a printscreen before deleting them.

You'll have to get out of Safe-Edit and go into your regular Add/Edit photos link and delete the ones that were replaced. An easy way to figure this out is when you're in the Safe-Edit, look at the captions and match them up when you're in regular Add/Edit.

I don't know how they got there, or what the consequence is (probably flags you as an easy spam-bot target or something).

Another thing is to check your friends list.
Go to Edit Friends, and you'll probably notice alot of [x]'s, delete them all. (I had 19!)
They were all spammers before being reported/deleted.

Enjoy!

Also if you have problems using the home button on the top of the screen and it goes to some...login/ somthing like that its prob hacked. Just look for "login" or wierd web address in your descriptions about movies, music, etc.

I dont have one, but I just checked the woman's MySpace, she has 2 pics replaced. I saw a bunch of red X's and a bunch of captions that had no pics, what does that mean?

The answers you seek are in the first post.;)

I wiped out all my personal information on that site two weeks ago. I kept getting spam on my site and then I clicked on a bulletin and read it next thing I know I had ten bullitens I didnt post. I ran adware on my computer and there was something on my computer that saves passwords so I cleaned everything checked ran the adware scan about 5 times to make sure everything was gone and then I changed all my important passwords.

Myspace is Gay

Captions with no pics is fine. The legit pics will not show up in safe-edit.
It's the pics that do show up that you should delete, because they aren't yours.

[pickardracing]

Mine was clean. Thanks for the heads-up!

That's what I use it for too.

So what does someone see when they view your pics? Do they see the hacked pic or the original? How and why do they hack them?

[GRM-REPR]

that site is so ridiculous, i could care less what hackers do to my page..... but good tip nonetheless lol..

[70challenger452]

that was weird, I had two pics that were hacked, one was some hot chick on a beach the other was some simble I didn't understand so I just deleted it

I honestly don't know yet... yet.
It still shows your real picture.
If I had to guess, i'd say it's some sort of invisible flag that alerts other spammers to the fact that you're ripe for spamming thru?
I'll hafta research more.

They used to have that feature up until a week or so ago, but now it's gone because of "internet predators" :rolleyes:

You can still look up your highschool though, and see all the people that have joined up by graduating class year.

[johnny--2k]

Thanks for the heads up!

[BAD LS1]

[penji04]

Nothing here but thanks for looking out for everyone +1 to you.

[johnny--2k]

Now I go into safe edit mode, and all my pictures show up, but they are my pics, not random. Before, they were broken links.....whats the deal?
