its a known fact that the cookies on myspace that store your login info are not encrypted. There are numberous people who have script on their pages that can get the cookie information from your computer and jack your account.
I had one account deleted a few weeks ago...
Now BOE...
The key is to delete your cookies frequently and change your password often and you should be safe. (i'm crossing my fingers)
Seriously though, I've never really looked at the cookies myspace stores (aside from the fact that the passwords aren't stored in plain text), but it is pretty easy to snag username and passwords with a packet sniffer. Those are transmitted in plain text.
no worries man i left the site logged in on my work pc so when i go in tommrow i will just change it all
What do you mean? Every time I go to gayspace it prompts me for a password.

i left the page logged in at work i always do, so unless my pc got shut off it should still be logged in, so i should be able to change the password. . . . i hope

a) Define "logged in".
b) People overuse the word "hacked". Someone guessed the 3 letter password. There is no criminal mastermind at work here.

the page is signed in at my work
it wasn't a 3 letter password. . . . . . . . . . . ass pirate
make the password something with lower case & uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. And don't use complete dictionary words. chuck some numbers or something in the middle of common words. Then buy me a realdoll with a 5 year old's face on it.
