Comment(by Jaywalker):

 After reviewing the protocol and speaking with Phil (original developer of
 MySpaceIM), I highly doubt this would be a possibility. If the
 webchallenge was cracked, it would be a huge security loophole into
 MySpace since their protocol isn't encrypted... thus all one would need is
 their sesskey, userid, and the challenge packet and that would circumvent
 the login. If MySpaceIM ever converted to an encrypted protocol.. this
 would be more likely not to cause a drastic change in the protocol by
 MySpace.
