The MySpace SWF Hack
This past weekend, popular social networking site MySpace suffered from a self-propagating virus in its personal profile system. By simply visiting an infected profile, you could have your own MySpace profile overwritten with code that would infect others.
This was published in one of the most noted technology sites .
How you can be hacked : IF you allow SWF / Flash movies on your profile .
How to prevent it :
Method 1 : Do Not Use SWF or Flash movies on your profile till MySpace fixes this error .
Method 2 : If you DO STILL use SWF / Flash Movies , then FIRST UPGRADE your Macromedia Flash Player to Version 9 .
How to upgrade … just visit this page http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
