Shocking e-mail

Imagine my surprise as I read my e-mail this morning. There was one from Myspace that had a subject line of "Lonely Laughter has responded to your status"
Now, Lonely Laughter is my son's username on Myspace, so, for there to be a message from him would be pretty amazing. I went to my Myspace to check it out. there was, indeed, a message from Lonely Laughter. I looked at his profile......it was all different. Hey There Delilah was not playing, things were in different places. Most things were there, just in differrent places. HE HAD BEEN HACKED! I looked at the message. It was telling me how to make money, what web site to go to. OMG! I was livid (still am). Someone got into MY BABY'S profile and changed it. I still can't believe it. I can't even go into his profile anymore.....it isn't how he left it. It isn't Jeremy's anymore. It is how some inconsiderate hacker thinks it should look. I always found going to his profile kind of comforting.....sad, but comforting. No more.
I have contacted Myspace to ask them to delete his profile, explaining the situation. My concern is this: If they were able to hack into his mysapce, what other info did they get? I don't remember what all I had to give to get my myspace account. What kind of info did Jeremy give on there? Is someone using his SS#? Do they have other info they could be using?
i have not heard back from Myspace (except the auto reply to let me know they got the e-mail and would look into my issue). I am hoping to hear soon.
I just can't believe that someone would do that. I know it happens every day, but ...........
