July 18, 2017 By Corey Nachreiner

I had all but forgotten this old social network (now music streaming site?) until I learned that anyone can hijack your Myspace account with three easily attainable pieces of information. In her blog post, a UK security expert shares how she could take over your account if she knows your name and date of birth. Watch today’s video to learn more about this issue, and delete your account if you aren’t using it.
