• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

While we are all potential targets for identity thieves, it would seem that MySpace users in particular are being targeted by crooks.


MySpace bills itself as a "place for friends." Increasingly, it is also a place for unfriendly attacks from digital miscreants on the prowl, luring users to sexually explicit Web sites, clogging mailboxes with spam messages and playing on the trust users have when speaking to "friends" to obtain passwords that could lead to identity theft.

Number one reason are most myspace users are completely unaware of computer security and other issues and with the availability of user scripts and custom pages it just adds to the security risks.

Just my opinion, most of my girl's friends are on myspace and when I hear her talk to them and she has to explain how to open their web browser! lol
