1. If You Ever Had a Myspace Account, This Hack May Affect You
by David Meyer via @TIMES
Last Friday, one of the OG social networks Myspace fell victim to a notorious hacker that calls itself Peace. Myspace data was put up for sale in an underground market for 6 bitcoins ($3,200). Even if you haven’t used your account since 2006, if you’re the type of person who uses the same password for everything, make sure to change it on all your major accounts. Data from Myspace is still available and can be used to hack your other sites and accounts.
