… with a little tiny wing-wang broke into my MySpace page the other night and started sending everybody Instant Message invites with my name on them. I’m frightfully sorry about this, and I apologize, first, to anyone who got this fake message, and trebly to anybody who actually might have clicked through to download the pernicious spyware on the other end masquerading as beta chat software. If it makes you feel better, we were victims, too.
I was in flight the whole time, coming home from a five-day visit to Oklahoma, and didn’t have access to my computer to even know I’d been hacked. This is the first time it has happened to me on MySpace, and I hope the last. I’ve changed my password, which seems to be the only initiative anyone can take in these circumstances.
Sorry again.
