MySpace Power.
Everyone knows the world famous website MySpace. For everyone else who lives in a cave; myspace is a friendship network oriented website, people set up a profile site and add friends and pictures and all that other things, just like hi5 and others. It is known as one of the top10 most visited websites in the internet and probably top20 most popular websites online. With all this popularity also comes lots of contreversy. It is known for atracting sex offenders and just creepy old people looking for kids. Also since it is a big site it gets lots of spam and hacking attempts.
MySpace has grown to be such a big network that it apparently has the power to shut down a whole website just by saying it. Some security list website posted a link to another or hosted a site that had thousands of usernames and passwords. When MySpace found out about this they talked with GoDaddy (they manage websites, basically control most websites because many people use their service) and GoDaddy with out further questions shut down the site. MySpace did not warn or talk to the site who hosted the passwords.
This is also very wrong by GoDaddy they should of issued a warning or talked it out before putting out a website just because MySpace said to. They are not their boss and thus they should have no power over what should be done. You could all read more about this on SecurityFocus.com

what? wait, im confuse…
i mean, if those passwords and usernames where published without permissio ( something im sure about) wasnt it rigth to be shutten down?… but anyways, i agree with the part where ”they are suppose to talk to the website first before doing this kind of things…
it;s kinda weird.
Its kind of like if they shut down this website without telling me, without talking to cops or any other authority. They just do it.
It was wrong to publish those users and passwords but it is even worse how they handled it.
oh, im sure about that…. thanks god at least i havent find any old men there
