Apparently, hacked pages at MySpace are spreading malware.

I differ with the conclusion of Chris Boyd, FaceTime security manager...the pages did not have to be 'hacked'. The sheer number of sites offering 'freebies' for MySpace is bound to have several bad apples in the bunch, it would not surprise me in the least if the malware spreading links/apps/whatever on the MySpace pages were actually put there by the page owners, under the guise of being something else.
