Have you ever heard of Samy Kamkar? Well, he is the first person to do a large scale MySpace hacking. On January 2007, he confessed that he created what many people consider one the most sophisticated Web 2.0 worm. The worm is widely known as the “Samy Worm”. Even thought the worm wasn’t malicious it did cause a hell lot of trouble to MySpace. MySpace had to be shutdown in the late2005 after the Samy worm managed to swarm to over 1 millions users to declare Samy a “here” on each of their profile.

No that’s what I call wicked

Till now, Samy is not allowed to touch a computer but if he play his card right…he may be allowed to visit MySpace again. This time I hope he doesn’t do anything stupid :p
