Myspace Friend Request Could Mean Jail Time

Now this is something that will definitely make an interesting read. A 16 year old girl from Staten Island could end up in jail because she sent friend request to there myspace profiles.

Shockingly since the girl is under aged, the name of the girl was given out to the public! Anyways, the girl’s name is Melissa Fernio. I’m sure you’re asking what ‘exactly’ that she has done wrong?

Well, apparently she has violated a Family Court that barred here from contacting a 13 year old woman and here two daughters and now Melissa Fernio is charged with second-degree criminal contempt.

MySpace Accounts Breached !?

Looks like Paris Hilton’s and Lindsay Lohan’s MySpace account has been breached. Although the reports were not verified and no comments has been made by both celebs, the news is spreading all over the world wide web. Here is a quote from VW:

Want to see Paris Hilton’s MySpace profile? How about Lindsay Lohan’s? Don’t worry about those pesky privacy settings. Thanks to “data portability,” a faddish technology movement that the Valley has been buzzing about for months, you can see any profile you want on MySpace. Byron Ng, a Canadian computer technician with a knack for finding Web security holes, has discovered that Yahoo’s integration with MySpace makes it easy to view photos for any profile.

I will not be surprised if this rumor is true because a lot of MySpace accounts has been breached before. I just hope MySpace will beef up their security system before people start migrating to other ‘safer’ social networking sites.
