Myspace: Who Is Watching The Detectives?

....a lot of horrible people, as it turns out. Someone has come up with a really sneaky way to automatically subscribe you to their video channel on Myspace, simply by visiting their Myspace profile. This then gives them a big long list of everyone that's ever been on their page. You can discuss the pros and cons of this with regards the risk to "regular" Myspace users, but I think the biggest issue here is for Law Enforcement, Security Researchers and "groups of angry people that hunt down pedophiles in various glorious ways".

Why? Because all of the scumbags using this trick (Myspace are calling it an "Error", and are working to fix it) suddenly know when a good guy is watching them, and can go underground, or maybe prepare for some Black-Hat retaliation. Click here to read all about it, and also find out how you can prevent this from happening to you. Thankfully, the solution is nice and easy.

Makes a change, right?
