MySpace hacks used to be the domain of people engaging in beefs and poetry slams, but now they’ve gotten a bit more insidious. The above video shows just how Alicia Keys’ MySpace page was altered in such a way that clicking any part of the page’s background resulted in users being sent to a malicious page on a Chinese server where they were instructed to download an ActiveX control, which would then install a rootkit or some other piece of icky spyware. Guess it’s time for everyone to change their passwords again! (Also: How psyched are the people who run Facebook Music right now?)
