Just a quick heads-up for Myspace users.

According to security vendor McAfee, one of the profiles on MySpace currently serves up a fraudulent Microsoft security update that, if clicked, attempts to load malicious software. The profile of a 42-year-old woman from Arkansas appears to exist solely for the purpose of infecting visitors. McAfee says that both Microsoft and MySpace have been contacted.

Hi Jordan,

This is absolutely good stuff to get out to the public.  I've bookmarked it with all my networks for you.
