Just got an email in my mailbox from the Myspace Legal team.. Looked into it and apparently 360 million accounts (I guess virtually all of them), have been breached with email addresses, passwords, and usernames stolen.

[masud]

What's MySpace?

 

[Dash_Riprock]

If this was 2007 I'd be scared

 

[sixteen-bit]

Breaking News: Myspace compromised, still exists.

 

[univariate]

hopefully the hackers can delete my account from 2006

 

[Laevateinn]

Oh no. What's next? Will they get access to my Hotmail account?

 

[thegreatchamp]

Yup, I was emailed by the pwned website yesterday about this. Apparently it was from 2008.

 

[strafer]

oh no, my poor Dj_Strafer1987xX hotmail adress

 

[DOWN]

I'm pretty sure no one has the same email account they used in 2006 anymore

 

[Doug Heffernan]

What are they gonna do with a bunch of old emo selfies and My Chemical Romance quotes? XXXMATTHEWXXX and Tila Tequila are gonna be pissed.

 

[Xamtheking]

But why

 

[adj_noun]

Hackers now have evidence of your terrible taste in music and high school misanthropy.

Even engadget's making with the jokes.

 

[demon]

I'm pretty sure no one has the same email account they used in 2006 anymore

why is that? I still use the gmail account I created in 2004.

 

[B-Dubs]

Myspace is still a thing?

 

[The Elite]

Is Tom safe?

 

[perfectchaos007]

false flag. Myspace breached Myspace to get it in the news again and to get people to test their log-in for the first time in 8 years

 

[Aselith]

These hackers were so concerned with whether they could that they didn't stop to asking themselves if they should

 

[PROh1bited]

I think I deactivated my account in 2008. So I should be fine.

 

[strafer]

I'm pretty sure no one has the same email account they used in 2006 anymore

I do. For pornsite signups and misc kinky stuff.

 

[Linkark07]

People still use Myspace?

 

[SeanC]

Will I still be able to make a giant glitter banner with those dancing baby gifs and music from a band you don't know playing in the background?

 

[DiipuSurotu]

I'm pretty sure no one has the same email account they used in 2006 anymore

Someone didn't get a Gmail beta invite back then I see.

 

[Ceres]

I'm pretty sure no one has the same email account they used in 2006 anymore

I've had a Gmail account since 2004

 

[freenudemacusers]

The people buying this info onthe black market are the real victims here.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

All those bots are gonna be pissed that their accounts were hacked.

 

[ElTorro]

That breach was probably the only access to MySpace that happened this month.

 

[Aselith]

false flag. Myspace breached Myspace to get it in the news again and to get people to test their log-in for the first time in 8 years

tbh I think they just saw a dude log in to his account and panicked

 

[friskykillface]

My page had my emo high school phase music on it
They can have it, and old selfies if they wanna see an ugly guy

Tom the god ate when he sold that site $$$$$$$$

 

[cloud_sleep]

Hope my Friendster account is safe.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

People are gonna figure out which girls I had a crush on in high school!

My top eight friends were randomized! It's not like I put you there because I like you! Gosh!

 

[ElTorro]

Oh no. What's next? Will they get access to my Hotmail account?

Somebody will break into Altavista and replace the frontpage with an "under construction" gif.

 

[Carl]

That breach was probably the only access to MySpace that happened this month.

Or this year

 

[Mortemis]

well shit, maybe they can find out the password for my yahoo email that I used to sign up back then. Hmu if you do hackers, haven't checked that in years.

 

[Himynameischris]

I'm pretty sure no one has the same email account they used in 2006 anymore

I still use my Yahoo email from 2001

 

[joeyjoejoeshabadoo]

What's MySpace?

You might recognize it by its more widly used and recognizable name, "My_____".

 

[Lucumo]

Again? Or is it the breach from around 2008?

 

[Tom Nook]

What a way for dead website to get attention....

 

[AntChum]

Can something really be stolen if nobody wanted it in the first place?

 

[vikki]

Maybe they can help me with my password, I forgot It a long time ago.

 

[strafer]

is myspace even myspace today?

 

[How About No]

Hot damn that must be kilobytes of data stolen

Yeah hackers, you can have my account it's fine

 

[LaMagenta]

MySpace is still around?

 

[DeployThatPizza]

I'd be concerned if I used MySpace.

 

[Struct09]

If you want to see if you were affected, HIBP has already been updated with this leak: https://haveibeenpwned.com/

 

[krae_man]

I'm pretty sure no one has the same email account they used in 2006 anymore

2006? try 1996.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

What a way for dead website to get attention....

A dead website that we all practically signed up for. Did they delete the old accounts? I don't think I need to worry since the password is probably old but it's still worrying.

 

[No_Style]

You might recognize it by its more widly used and recognizable name, "My_____".

I forgot about this. I also forgot how terrible it is.

 

[Flandy]

Wonder how many people still use the same password now that they used for myspace

 

[Emperor_EL]

Pretty sure I changed my password after the music focused MySpace relaunch.

 

[InfiniteBento]

Throwin' me back to when I went by revolvingdisco on the internet.

I'm so ashamed of myself.
