Ever since I had written a post on how Samy hacked MySpace, I have been inundated with comments asking me how to hack MySpace. It is obvious that the people asking didn't realize that the actual purpose of the article was not to help hacking MySpace, but to discuss about an intelligent exploit after it was patched.

I don't get why people have such a strong interest in hacking others MySpace account. Several people have offered reasoning ranging from spying on cheating spouse to errant children or missing husband. Out of sympathy I have left the comments on the page. Where there is desperation, snake oil salesman cannot be far behind. There were some offers to do the "hacking" for free. Effectively their purpose was to social engineer the myspace login & password of the poor user who himself wants to super simple guide to hack others account.

I think it boils down to morbid curiosity we have about other people's life. Personally I wouldn't never even take a look into anyone's MySpace account, even if I am compensated for the mere effort to look at it.

All said and done, MySpace has effectively become the gossip column for young and old alike.

And no, for the last time, I wouldn't teach you how to hack MySpace, even if I knew it.
