Friendster hacked?

I got a couple of complaints from people saying that I had been sending them spam messages from Friendster.

Oddly enough I started to get spam from my brother as well:

I looked in my sent folder and it was empty. My brother's sent folder was empty as well.

I changed my password but it looks like this is widespread...

Ouch! Yes it does indeed sound like your profile was hacked. Do you have a secure password with upper and lower case letters and numbers? If not, you should consider making your password more secure. That should help, unless of course someone has found a security loophole in the friendster site (which is very possible).
