Hey, thanks for that...

You did a great job with the display of a vagina as my main picture... and then changing my name to Labia... oh, well that was just plain classic. I found the mass amounts of text about "dog fucking" to be quite charming.

Thanks for going out of your way to delete all of my text... all the design and effort that I had put into that site in the past 2 years. I didn't love my page that much, I suppose. My custom made layout that I spent more than a month designing... my custom text with my little designs... and my linked text taking you to places I most enjoy all over the internet... gone in the blink of an eye.

Oh, and here's the best part. Thanks for deleting all my friends. Ya know... some of my friends are deceased... people who were in my life for a long time and then passed away. I found a tremendous amount of positive energy in leaving them a comment when I missed them. It made me feel better about them being gone. But now, I will never be able to do that again because... well since they're dead, they obviously don't add friends any more.

In addition, thanks for sending mean messages to tons of my friends. I had to do damage control on that one. I got phone calls for 2 hours after I deleted my page.

I wish I knew who you were... I'd like to thank you for demolishing 2 years of work.

i am sorry to hear someone did this to you. Im curious as to why you think it was someone from cm though.
You could try contacting myspace for two reasons, firstly they may have back up disks which can get you old page back for you. Secondly they may be able to trace the IP of the person who deleated your pages.

i hope this helps.....politesub

Wow! What a fuckin Creep!
Have you contacted Myspace yet?
Can they undo some of the damage?
There must be a way to put back your friends list.
And can they trace this sick pervert? They need a good beating!

it wasn't someone on CM... or at least not to my knowledge...
i just wanted to vent here...

i was unable to contact anyone... even as i deleted the stuff, they kept re-editing it
and eventually i had to delete the account... because i couldnt change my password or anything even...

I don't know much about myspace...Hoe did they hack your account? Isn't some sort of password required to access it?

yes, but there are waaay too many hackers out there lately...

people who have that capability aren't as rare as they used to be when computers were still new...

theres a site online that you can go to and when someone pisses you off, you can post their myspace link and others will hack into it and demolish it for you...

i just didnt think it could happen to me

you can find anything on the internet these days...

theres even access to stuff on how to make bombs... and how to correctly kill yourself so you are assured that you will die...

everythings out there

Satyrsnymph28, your not the only one this is happening to either. My god daughter had to call all of her friends because someone hacked her account and posted on her page she had commited suicide. It almost caused some of her more "emotional" friends to "follow" her. (She is 15, and most of her friends are also angst ridden, if not more than her, teenagers.) Tom really needs to find a way to secure the servers better.

Just my opinion.

Yeah, last week I accepted someone as a friend on Myspace and I got a notice that said I was "Phished."
There's a lot of teenagers on that site so it's probably some pre or post pubesciant boy doing this shit.

unfortunately Tom really can't do too much he's just the middleman/messenger. you have to send your msgs in to the big guns.

Sorry to hear your story. It's so damned annoying, its like someone deleting a part of your life... its a shit thing to do.

I own quite alot of sites for business etc and it's scarey that people can get into them.... a few weeks ago I was locked out of one of my own sites - someone hacked it and changed all the permissions - I've make the decision to completely shut the site even though it p*ssed me off to do so.

yeah, to have to completely create a new site was very irritating...

i am so hesitant to do anything like that ever again because.. all that work could just get washed away...

problem with that is... someone can hack into the page no matter what your password is....

keystroke logger or any other hacking tool out there is made specifically for that kind of thing

everyone needs to just keep their hands off of eachothers stuff

I like myspace too but it definitely has some issues. My account was phished recently and I only discovered it by looking into my Sent mail folder. I'm still trying to figure out how they got into my acct because my password is not something that can be easily figured out. Whoever did it had to work really hard to get it.

unfortunately it takes next to no work for someone to run a program to detect your password..

or sometimes they have those sites that look just like myspace where you type in your password...

then it turns out its not really myspace
and then your password is in their hands

but mine was a personal attack...

Best advice? Don't piss people off

Don't insert your password, apart from the main myspace page you bring up yourself, even when its reasked for but close the page immediately and do a scan.
Don't accept any files or downloads you don't know.
Don't open emails from anyone you do not know.
Have good virus scanner and actually run it.
Don't accept friend requests from people you do not know unless you are networking.
Change your password on a regular basis.

I'm really very sorry to hear that..

I had something done recently which destroyed three of my websites (two pertaining to my artistic work) which caused a lot of problems. For example it cost me a good venue in London for the play I'm working on, and venues aren't that easy to come by. I'm also listed in Wikipedia (by who I can't say, it could be anyone) and I'm told that each month my entry has been vandalised so many times by hackers.

I translated a book about this a couple of years ago. Yes there are programs which can crack passwords within minutes or a couple of hours using one of three methods (I remember one being the dictionary method, but can't remember the other two).

A good strategy for passwords is to take a long word and reverse it and randomly place numbers within it, such as:

motorway - y3aw54ro8t8om

This would take anything from four days to a month for any cracking program to decipher.

Most hackers use Linux and using this system you only need to have moderate programming skills in C++ or Python to be able to hack effectively.

Any website can be hacked if the hacker can find an error or 'hole' in the php script, they don't have to crack the password.

Hackers can also crack and intercept all IM programs and messages.

You can't always trace someone who's hacked into a website because either they could be using a remote server or be using a false IP address.

This much I understand. But what I can't understand is why anyone would want to use the Internet as a medium for causing other people they don't know inconvenience, distress, hurt, loss and pain.

satyrs, i feel for you ....all the time, energy and design work on your Myspace and then just *poof* losing it...you're right, some people really need to leave other's stuff alone.

i have a few accounts on other sites where the phishing attempts are getting slicker and quicker....

*edited 'cuz Darcy already covered it!*

It's sad that people have to do this at all...all the work to keep your pages safe from hackers...you'd think the "powers" that be would've figured a way out to keep servers safe....

If you undelete the account and message me, I believe I can help you fix it.

Also, I'd recommend always backing up such code files such as graphics that may be associated with the page.

There's also an off-shot. If you can Google your page- Google often keeps a "Cache" file of old sites. -If- they have such a cache file of your MySpace page, one might be able to recover code from it. If you manage to Google your page and find it, I'd be happy to assist with this.
