Oh god oh god someone might hijack my account and scrobble Linkin Park oh god

[mcbpete]

I wonder if it's coincidence or not that this has happened the very next day after Linkedin's password theft ...

[Joyrex]

They probably all use the same scripts, making the exploits transferable.

oh god oh god someone might reset all my linkin park scrobbles oh god

[Dan C]

Two mentions of Linkin Park in one thread... WATMM's secret favourite band?

Steal the passwords from sites with low security and chances are they'll be the same passwords used for sites with much higher security ...

Seriously? You're on a music website, and are wondering what the relevance of last.fm is?

I made a last.fm account thinking it was going to be something like spotify but it didn't let me listen to anything. All last.fm does is keep track of what music you listen to right? Music you've previously downloaded that is

i find it surprising that facebook still haven't bought lastfm and incorporated it in their cummunity

Perhaps they're afraid if they incorporate a music element they'll be like MySpace

...and they want to keep it that way by not implementing last.fm into it. [/explainingthejoke]

[Guest ruiagnelo]

myspace are clearly amateurs. facebook would definitely do it properly

[Silent Member]

spotify is pretty well integrated with facebook. Unfortunately I have developed an irrational distaste for spotify.

i think joseph is probably wondering what someone would want last.fm passwords for. probably spam shit or something.

 

do people give last.fm their credit card details? i suppose they do if they subscribe or something.

 

but can you get the credit card details from just logging in?

 

edit: shit, my attempt at a post with substance went horribly wrong

as mcbpete has already mentioned, many people use the same passwords across multiple sites. some retards will use the same password for last.fm that they use for their paypal account, and usually they'll use the same email address that is registered with last.fm, so if you manage to get into someone's last.fm account there is a very high probability that you can get into their paypal account and start making some purchases.
