Myspace has been hit several times by malicious malware. One should wonder whether it is even safe to be on myspace. "In March, McAfee reported the site is increasingly becoming an unhealthy breeding ground for the "scum of the Internet" by luring surfers to sexually explicit Web sites or trying to capture personal information from members that could lead to identity theft."
