The Washington Post’s security guru Brian Krebs has written an intriguing article on AOL’s password practices.

A reader wrote in to Krebs to tell him that AOL’s password system seemed to be accepting the first eight characters of his (more than 8 character) password plus any combination of characters thereafter, bringing into question the strength of AOL’s password security.

Krebs said that AOL spokesman Andrew Weinstein explained that “the company was looking into the matter” but didn’t provide any further information.

Social-networking site MySpace, owned by Murdoch's News Corp., has agreed to acquire Photobucket, the Web's No. 1 photo-sharing service, according to a source close to the deal.The source, who requested anonymity because he isn't authorized to discuss the deal publicly, confirmed a story about the acquisition in the blog Valleywag on Monday.

TechCrunch blog said it had confirmed the acquisition at $250 million. Both MySpace and Photobucket representatives declined to comment–which could very well mean that something is going on between the two companies. Or not.
