MySpace Hacker Tells His Story
Dig inside the mind of a MySpace hacker.
If Samy Kamkar plays his cards right, he may be allowed to visit MySpace again in just a few months. For the time being, however, he’s not even allowed to touch a computer, following a January 2007 guilty plea for creating what many consider to be the first Web 2.0 worm: the Samy worm.
Samy’s worm wasn’t malicious, but it did force News Corp.’s MySpace social-networking site to shut down in late 2005 after forcing more than 1 million users to declare Samy a “hero” on their profile pages.
