Alicia Keys' Myspace page suffers cunning hack

You don’t know you’re framed
Friday, 9 November 2007, 10:56

THE MYSPACE page of American R&B diva Alicia Keys has been hacked, using a technique experts say is highly cunning and likely to catch out many users.

Roger Thompson on the Exploit Prevention Labs Blog says the hackers use an image background href so that when users click the wrong part of a page, they are encouraged to install software that then puts rootkits on their computers.

"It’s a really interesting technique and its going to catch a lot of people because this is very media-rich page as are most Myspace pages there’s every expectation you’re going to see a video,” says Thompson on a Youtube explanation of the compromise. µ

Bravo to the hackers

Nice one hackers !!!

I never liked or respected MTV divas like Keys

They just do not belong to the music business in my opinion

SOTOS DROP DEAD AND DIE

alicia keys is not a MTV dive shes a regular diva like every other famle out there. no one cares if you dont like MTV or not, you have nothing against Keys. All she does is sing if you dont like her because of that then you are a moron and should shove a granade up your ass and let it blow
