  • In October 2005 Samy Kamkar released a self-propagating stored-XSS worm on MySpace

    This sourceKamkar's own log of the worm: the counter passing 1,005,831 — 'I have hit 1,000,000+ users. In less than 20 hours. Every request is from a unique, living, and logged in user' — with each infected profile rewritten to re-serve the payload, and his own page 'down for maintenance' as MySpace purged the site.
