MySpace Back Door
A backdoor in MySpace's architecture allows anyone who's interested to see the photographs of some users with private profiles -- including those under 16 -- despite assurances from MySpace that those pictures can only be seen by people on a user's friends list. Info about the backdoor has been circulating on message boards for months.
Since the glitch emerged last fall, it has spawned a cottage industry of ad-supported websites that make it easy to access the photographs, spurring self-described pedophiles and run-of-the-mill voyeurs to post photos pilfered from private MySpace accounts.
The bug, and its long-term survival, raises new questions about privacy on the News Corp.-owned site, even as it touts a deal with the attorneys general of 49 states meant to polish its online-safety image.
This recent development is absolutely shocking. A networking site should try its utmost to keep everything ship shape and confidential so this is going to be more than a blow to myspace if knowledge of this increases.
The emergence of this 'glitch' was last fall so it has had time to grow and now many people know how to exploit and get their hands on photos with ease. Paedophiles will be running riot due to the mass audience of Myspace.
Thoughts.

I reckon new Sony console will be unveiled about 2012-2013, released late 2014. New xbox will be unveiled about 2011 and released christmas 2012. The new Nintendo console will just be a puppy.

Wow, overreaction much? Guess what? Pedophiles are everywhere, and can get this info themselves from tons of sources on the web. You cant prevent everything, and this info was very vital to someone like me with neices and nephews to look out for on Myspace.

RE: MySpace Back Door

There's no such thing as a pedofile.
way to let them all know how they can reach little children.
I never told them how to reach them or where to learn to reach them.

Grammatically superior to you.

RE: MySpace Back Door
Seriously Wii for me, back off. Maybe this could help make people aware of the possible things that are happening. Wouldn't you like to know if you are possibly "perved" on? Thanks Cappin' for the heads up. Once again wii for me, back off!

RE: MySpace Back Door
I like how we're telling Wii For Me off, even though Cpt is the one insulting him -.-;
(I don't care "who started it", in case you're wondering)
Anyways, yes, enough of the flaming.
On a side note, Pedophiles are born with the attraction to young children, when are we going to get out of our perfect society and accept these people for who they are? 
^-- that was a sarcastic comment
(More of an ironic statement, whetever makes more sense to you.)

RE: MySpace Back Door
well, thankfully my space has fixed the problem and the backdoor option no longer allows access.
