Hot for Security:The official Facebook page of rock band Linkin Park has been hacked, and its 62 million fans bombarded with spam messages containing coarse images and out-of-character links to third-party sites.
Although someone appears to have committed a crime by accessing Linkin Park’s Facebook account without authorisation, it would have been much more worrying if the links had been deliberately crafted to appear as though they really did come from the band, and had directed fans to webpages that had attempted to infect their computers with malware or phish their login details.
