News Corp. is naming a Microsoftie as its security czar to oversee child safety measures on MySpace.com, according to Reuters. Hemanshu "Hemu" Nigam, who had been in charge of consumer security outreach and child-safe computing at Microsoft, will start at MySpace on May 1.

The site, popular with teens and pre-teens, has received criticism recently as fears rise that sexual predators could be using it to target children online.
