Hey folks. I have a question, it might be a paranoid one but I dunno. I just logged onto my myspace profile and noticed that the Interest section of my profile is now showing.

I have no code or entries in that section but all of a sudden its showing now. I recently have been reading up on myspace since I'm new to it and have also seen a lot of stuff about phished accounts etc...

I'm not really familiar with any of that, and I was wondering if something like this on my profile would indicate any tampering from an outside source or someone who got into my account and placed code I can't see somewhere?

Any input appreciated. Also, can anyone tell me how to remove that section from being seen. The Interest section is showing under my music player. My profile is www.myspace.com/bngbattalion

Thanks.

Look at your sent Bulletins and make sure they are all ones you have sent. If you see things that have been sent and they havent been sent by you then your account has been compromised.

Also change your password.

Thank you PGZ, appreciate the response. I checked my bulletins and only have the two that I've ever sent out so looks ok. I also changed my password.

It's strange that all of a sudden the interests section is showing now. Is there anyway to have that hidden again? I don't have any entries or code in the section so not sure why it would be showing up.

Thanks again.

It may have been just a title that said interests before and now its just opened up with somewhere for you to put code if you wanted to.
