Mashable reported early last week that the mega-popular site myspace was hacked early last week with some of it’s pages having a flash redirect to a blog post about the Government being behind the 9/11 attacks.

The weekend just past, we saw power outages due to a heat wave in CA cause myspace to unavailable for hours, then completely shut down over the weekend and remains to be down.

Here is a report on the Heat wave and which areas are being affected.

It’s amazing that such a massive site like myspace isnt at a redundant data center. I suppose its amazing that a site like myspace doesn’t have good design or tidy code. Lots of people i know that use it have have experienced lots of error pages. Check out my friend dale’s myspace.. hold on, its down.

Anyways, its not YOUR space! .. what does that even mean?

EDIT: i’ve attached an image of an artist impression of the situation at the myspace datacenter and a new meter to calculate hacking difficulty of a web site.
