Even privacy settings can't deter the sneakiest of online stalkers.
A Canadian computer technician named Byron Ng has discovered a security lapse in Yahoo's integration with MySpace. How?
Actually it only involves keying in URLs. Specific instructions can be found here, but overall, it entails adding any MySpace profile through Yahoo's web service. That simple.
