What's this phishing thing that's going on with myspace now?

I don't think it's happening to my profile but I keep trying to post bulletins but they are not showing up. Is that happening to anybody else?What's this phishing thing that's going on with myspace now?
Phishing definition - the act of sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private personal identity data and financial account information that will later be used for identity theft.



The phishing e-mail has a link that directs the user to visit a Web site where the user is asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate enterprise already has.What's this phishing thing that's going on with myspace now?
yeah, it was just a bug and myspace is fixing it. even tom posted up a bullentin about it. just give it some time.







proof from tom's bullentin:



if you got locked for being phished in the last hour, it's a bug! we're working on fixing it right now. sorry about that! the mechanism to detect if your account has been phished has been very powerful for stopping phishing, but it went a little haywire just now. things should be back to normal soon! if you're wondering what phishing is, read my blog :)What's this phishing thing that's going on with myspace now?
my account was phished and i am pissed because it wont let me view the security code i need to type in in order to change my pass word!
phishing is not what you described above.

It is when someone is using your account to advertise, they get your password by making false myspace sign in pages, where you enter your password and email.
