MySpace worm
October 14th, 2005
Someone found a way to force over a million MySpace users to add his profile as a friend. Awesome…much easier than grubbing for friend requests.
For nerds like me, check out his technical explanation of how it was all done. Lots of interesting tricks there on how to obfuscate javascript through DHTML. I’ve already adopted one of his techniques — automatically routing people visiting elrubendelmar.mirandafamily.org to elrubendelmar.org. (Yes, I have a new domain.)
