MySpace login data phished and leaked

A large quantity of MySpace user login and password data has been posted online, Virus Bulletin reports.

The data was apparently gathered via a spoofed login page linked to from the site, and over 56,000 sets of details made publicly available online. At least some of the details entered make it clear that some visitors spotted the phish and posted fake and even abusive login data. Various phishing filters, including Firefox, were quickly updated to warn users visting the site.

Although the site hosting both the phish and the data has since been taken down, it is thought the data was exposed to numerous visitors and is still available elsewhere on the web.
