A lot of Myspace user data got scrubbed in its redesign a few years ago, but the mass exodus away from the service when social networks like Facebook were on the rise definitely left a number of forgotten accounts that are still live in some form and could be exploited.
Myspace's decision on Monday to revoke public access to the page indicated that the company was aware of the situation and investigating. It later said in a somewhat forlorn statement, "In response to some recent concerns raised regarding Myspace user account reactivation, we have enhanced our process by adding an additional verification step to avoid improper access.
We take data security very seriously at Myspace. We plan to continue to refine and improve this process over time.

The vulnerability, which he never told the dating site about, let him see whether they'd opened his messages or not. Kamkar says he got into hacking at 10 years old, as soon as he got a computer. If they could do that, I could do that. He lived in a tiny apartment in L. Kamkar spent a lot of time on his computer and started hacking games, posting cheat software for his favorite, Counterstrike.

The preeminent car hackers admired Kamkar back, saying his presentation was the only one beyond their own that they attended at DEFCON. It's such a good feeling when you solve something that wasn't meant to be solved. When something works, I jump up and do a dance for 10 minutes.
It's a feeling I chase. Kamkar is adept at conveying the fun of hacking, while emphasizing its seriousness. After discovering that many garages, including the one in his L. He called the device "OpenSesame" and announced it the month before the conference on his YouTube channel.
