McCain's MySpace Page Hacked
Source: ABC NEWS

March 27, 2007
ABC News' Jennifer Parker Reports: In what is perhaps a new weapon in campaign digital media warfare, the MySpace page of presidential candidate Senator John McCain, R-Ariz., was hacked Tuesday.

"All I can say right now is that we're investigating," said Matt David, a spokesperson for McCain's 2008 White House bid.

According to the webblog TechCrunch, which tracks new Internet products and sites, McCain's MySpace page profile included a pranked letter on Tuesday morning that read: "Dear Supporters, Today I announce that I have reversed my position and come out in full support of gay marriage … particularly marriage between two passionate females.">>>>snip

3. I wonder if they will change it to add the fact that McCain was pirating someone else's bandwidth?

4. That's hardly "hacked". No one got into McCain's Myspace if that's all it was.
I've done stuff like that before. Found people using some images on one of my domains for their Ebay or other purposes. I just changed the image to one that said "I Steal Bandwidth"

8. Politicians have offical myspace accounts, oh my.
I hope that isn't too common. For some reason that just seems really screwy to me... I suppose it's just 'cause I equate myspace to a bunch of teeny-boppers with extremely "loud" pages.

11. Not surprising, MySpace is a MESS right now. They are under heavy attack by Scams and Spam...
...that is very aggressive. I've mostly stopped accepting new "Friend Requests" because if you do accept a request from a "hacked" page, you are almost handing control to the jerks who are doing all the hacking.

MySpace says they are working on a fix, but it really sucks right now.
