Websense: Phishing Attack AIMs at Myspace Users
June 6, 2006

Security firm Websense reports that a phishing attach is attempting to steal account information from Myspace users.

According to an alert from the company, "A hyperlink is first delivered to victims via AOL Instant Messenger. Users who follow this link are taken to a fraudulent website that spoofs the MySpace.com login page. This page captures their MySpace account information and then forwards the user to the actual MySpace.com website."

The alert goes on to note that the fraudulent site sets a cookie on visiting browsers that "prevents the phishing attack from being displayed on any subsequent visits."

A screenshot of the fraudulent site is available on Websense's site.
