Alicia Keys My Space Page Hacked

Apparently someone who maintains Alicia Keys My Space Page put their username and password in a phishing email and Voila... Alicia Keys My Space page was hacked. When I say it was hacked, I do not mean someone just defaced her page, the hackers went to great lengths to hide malicious code on her page. Every other image on her site was hacked in a way that merely clicking on the images would install malicious code on the visitors computer. Click on Key's bare midriff and you would be taken to a site that would install a program on your computer that would trick you into buying anti-virus software and track your credit card number and log your username and passwords.

Luckily, MySpace identified the problem and scrubbed her page clean. Looks like her page was not the only one hacked. Some other pages were also hacked but MySpace is tight lipped about it.

Roger Thompson, a security expert at Exloit Prevention Labs, has posted the following video of the Alicia Keys Hack.
