Myspace Gets Outsmarted!

Reportedly, Myspace user "Jesse" hacked into pop group Boys Like Girls' Myspace all day today. He hacked their account, posting bulletins titled "Add him! He is the reason we're here," giving his own link inside. Inside the bulletin, user "Jesse" writes,

"Add the guy that got us where we are now! This is the guy that basically got us started from the ground up and really enjoyed helping us. He's an all around nice type of guy but recently got deleted.He help us as much as many others start off and since he has gotten deleted we want to help him out like he did so add him you might recongnize his face but help him get up there again!"

This story is only reportedly true.. with over 6,000 friends this guy is a genius, but also an idiot! What's the point? To get more friends.. on the internet? Or to show off?

He even went as far as to put himself on the band's top friends. Boys Like Girls has gotten very popular recently, with help of MTV and major radio airplay and are also signed to Columbia Records. The band from Boston has hundreds of thousands of friends, a lot of whom have potentially read the many bulletins posted today by the hacker.

The band may not yet have realized they have been hacked, and no statement has been released or update posted.

***Updated: Jesse's MySpace account was deleted
