It seems that MySpace is no longer a safe haven for social networking. According to Panda Labs there are several malicious codes out there that are using MySpace pages to spread.
”Cyber-crooks want to distribute their creations to as many users as possible. That’s why they use networks that attract millions of Internet users around the world to spread their creations,” explains Jeremy Matthews, CE of Panda Software South
According to Panda, the majority of these codes are Trojans. One in particular retrieves confidential information that has been saved on the computer.
Situations like these prove problematic for the boom in social networking sites. If the situation becomes too serious it could compromise the growth in these sites. On the other hand the same happened to e-mail and most people still use it.
