Not sure you understand how they do this. It doesn't matter what your password is. They set up a page on their domain that looks EXACTLY like the myspace login page. Then they send out bulletins that say something like 'ChEcK th1s out duD3! Dis gurl is nek1D!'. The bulletin contains a link to their 'fake' login page. The average myspace user thinks that myspace is just asking for their login credentials again before they show them the link. The put in their credentials, and the fake login page forwards them to the pic. The user doesn't even know what just took place.
From what i've seen discussed, it's fairly easy to build up a list of 100K accts this way. Say you post it to a 5000 friend account, and you come up with 50 phished accts. Then, you post the same bulletin to those 50 accounts (because you now have the passwords), and all of a sudden the amount explodes.
Note: If you are looking for myspace to come after you, then this is the way to go. If they are going to make an example out of somebody for spamming, then they'll go after a phisher before just an average joe who uses his own created accounts. You also risk getting kicked out of your adsense, YPN, CPA program. Also, if you make a good bit of CPA money this way, theres a chance they would come after you and try to get their money back. |
