That naturally results in users having problems logging into the website from time to time. A second problem is that MySpace users are regularly targeted by hackers and phishers and that this can also result in the account being inaccessible.

A MySpace user experiencing login issues needs to analyse the situation carefully. Is the MySpace website loading? Are error messages displayed? Are the MySpace username or password accepted?

How To Identify Phishing Attacks

Login Security 2 Comments »

Phishing is an attack form that is usually carried out by email. The term phishing is made up of the two words password and fishing which describes the basic concept.

Most phishing emails fake emails from financial organizations like PayPal or banks but other services like social networking sites such as Facebook or MySpace are also targeted by phishers.

Links in those emails lead to fake websites that look like the original website. The only purpose of those fake websites is to catch the login data of the user who does not realize that the fake website is not the real one.
