Re: Question of Authority.. arbitrary yanking with no due process or common sense is tantamount to having the fire department called when a person plugs in a space heater unsafely. It is an inappropriate response by an organization that should know better. There are many cases of such a reaction by godaddy and they should not be trusted with the power to do so at will. |

So you wouldn't have a problem with giving me your bank account username and password? Or how about a username and password to a shopping site that stores your credit card info? Some users on myspace do use the same passwords and user names on other sites or even have personal info in their profiles. Using that info is most certainly identity theft. No matter how you try and spin that it's not.

That's silly - Myspace could have just locked all of the accounts down and required users to select new passwords via an email process. Or, just deleted all the accounts of the people who were silly enough to have their password captured.

First off anyone who uses the same passwords on different sites, or even worst yet post their personal info on unsecured myspace, or any profiles for that matter, are fools.
There is no excuse whatsoever, other than the poor excuse of ignorance and denial, to use random password generator programs such as RoboForm (The one I use) to generate random passwords on different websites that have ANY of your personal information.
You can not be too careful when securing private information on the internet. Ignorance and denial will make you a target.

kudos:5 | Myspace is not a banking system, it has no direct tie to anything financial or personal. I can not get your social security number from it. Stealing a myspace password is not identity theft. |

Re: Security Theater said by riturno:The list can still be found with Google. Indeed. And who here will petition to have 'google.com' revoked because of it?
Anyone?

Re: Question of Authority.. Fuck that. That's like saying that GoDaddy needs reasonable intent to then ask ICANN if it's okay to kick them offline.
If you're an asshole enough to post something like that, you should be fine with getting the rug pulled from under your feet. |

It's the law; go look it up. Anyone who has majored in business has taken at least two law classes and would know this.
