Mystery Myspace screenshot claimed

I just saw that the page discussed here has been claimed, by Network Solutions.

From SCMagazine:

Late Friday, Susan Wade, spokeswoman for Network Solutions, said that the disclosed page belonged to her company, not the social networking giant.

Network Solutions is conducting an investigation to determine how the page was made public, she said.

"We touched base with MySpace to let them know that this was out there and there was some information [made public]," she said. "The good news here is that screenshot is information that you would find on a public database, except for the user ID."

MySpace, a client of Network Solutions, declined comment on the matter.

So, the good news is, Myspace hasn't been split open by a bunch of hackers - and most of the information could be found in public databases. True, someone has managed to gain access to something they shouldn't have, but it looks like no serious damage has been done.

I just hope I never have to mail Myspace about anything ever again.
