Well, that was weird. First I read about someone else discovering the recent attack on Myspace Band pages (even though I’ve been banging on about it since the 31st of October), and then I read this wonderful quote from Myspace via the above article:

“MySpace said it had already taken care of the problem.

“Individuals who try to phish our members are violating the law and are not welcome on MySpace. We have blocked and removed the source of this phishing attempt and restored the profile,” a MySpace spokesperson said by e-mail.”

Yes, of course you have. By the way, here’s a (still redirecting) profile:

…and here’s the Codec install that (apparently) has “been fixed”, even though clicking the above profile will take you to this:

…but wait, I hear you cry! They weren’t talking about fixing the whole problem! They just meant Alicia Keys Myspace page!

A pity, then, that her page has BEEN HACKED AGAIN:

Note the redirect in the bottom left hand corner.

All the screenshots above were taken in the last few hours (or in the case of Alicia, minutes).

Myspace - please try harder.

/ Update - JetKing wade into the fray once more here, and it’s frankly outrageous that you can only seemingly have your profile “restored” if you happen to be Alicia Keys. Everyone else has to suffer the fate of having to set up your profile from scratch.

If it’s any consolation to everyone that had to set up new profiles, on the bright side, they didn’t seem to do a very good job restoring Alicia…
