Yep, See it happen all the time. All they have to do is change their passwords and there good to go.
Can you send 700,000 PMs when all you have is an email address for each? Would they read their email and believe you if you sent 700,000 emails?

Re: yep

myspace would delete your account for sending 700,000 e-mails.. Ain't that a hoot! Here you are trying to help out and they remove your ass..

Re: yep

Tom puts up posts saying if you see bulletins posted under your name that you didn't post, to change your password. Hopefully people are smart enough to take the advice.

Re: yep

how many people will change only their myspace passwords, and not think about their ebay/email/paypal? I'm willing to bet a lot of the myspace crowd uses the same passwords for everything.

Changing the password is irrelevant, considering the password is retrieved via the malicious login page.

No it is irrelevant that "tom" puts up messages like this. People who lost their emails/password combinations in this even are never going to see anything disturbed in their myspace account, because the thieves are not the least bit interested in logging into myspace and putting up joke posts.
They are going to take this file, or have already, and they are going to run it through every juicy email+password type validation system they can find.
Paypal allows logins with just your email and password. Ebay as well. Most email accounts (yahoo mail, gmail).
Bank sites, usually not. Usually you also have to know a username and a password.
