A security breach on MySpace that enabled users to view other users' private pictures and postings went unattended for several months, according to news reports.

UK-based Out-Law.com reported that the hack enabled MySpace users over 18 to view the personal profiles of users under 16.

MySpace had previously altered its service so that all profiles of users under 16 were private by default, requiring more steps for over-18 users to contact them.
