Hackers Sneak Tricks into MySpace Band Pages

If you like checking out your favorite band’s MySpace page, you might want to exercise a little caution when you do. Is it just me or is MySpace always having these types of problems (pictures, videos, banner ads)?

The bands’ MySpace pages have a transparent overlay that, when clicked, either links to a Web site that tries to start downloading malware disguised as a media codec or attempts to exploit a browser security flaw, said Chris Boyd, security research manager with FaceTime.
