Hanky Panky at Friendster

on
Something is cooking at Friendster... either it is being hacked or some of my friends' account been hacked.

I continuously received three comments from known friends with funny messages. I don't the messages are genuine.

Take one example.



It came from the following..

In which if you compare with a genuine (user-triggered) message (about a contact in my friendster list having updated her blog), there is no flaw.

This is also a very annoying spam which brings inconvenience to your friends.
