The larger article

Following on from my last post on a metro article I came across 'hackers target myspace users', though I searched around for the article of a leading paper it was used from. I found it at

Link to the article

DailyMail.co.uk, their article was named 'MySpace users hit by hacker virus' and dated august 2006, metros running behind. This article talks about hackers attacking myspace, with scams and specific to myspace viruses due to myspace hugh user listings, myspace has made itself a target due to its popularity. Which is understandable, I must admit I haven't heard anything major about myspace attacks, new to me.

After hearing this within the article "The site is hugely popular, especially with teenagers, and it has recorded growing numbers of users in recent months, now accounting for 4.5 per cent of all internet traffic. " (DailyMail, aug 2006)I'm glad I covered social networks for my essay it seems to be a growing nessesery topic with security and privacy.

Another link : This link is worth a look it talks about the vulnerability of myspace against worm attacks. Its located at BPM Today.com named 'Social Networking Sites: New Hacker Target' Sept 2006.

I don't think i can moan to much if I found this earlier and mentioned my essay would have been 3000 words and even I wouldnt want to read it.
