Ths [censored] thing about attacking MySpace is that 99% of the users on there are innocent and do not know what they are doing... it's like shooting fish in a barrel. Lots of kids and not ver knowledgeable adults will be hit, and rip off artists like Best Buy will profit by charging $250 to remove a virus.... if you want to expose someone, expose people like Best Buy who are charging $100 to install a ram stick, or $250 to remove a virus.... those are the real exploiters.

The purpose of the exercise is not so much to expose MySpace as a hive of spam and villainy (since everyone knows that already), but to highlight the monoculture-style danger of extremely popular websites...

No, it's a whiny, attention-seeking ploy, as they said the first time.
I'm so weary of adolescent boys who have nothing better to do than to make the world worse for everyone else.

How irrelevant. Have you considered NOT Best Buy? Take your business elsewhere. Easy.
Have to agree with jmincey, especially since it's MySpace for crying out loud.

We need more "kids" like this in other industries.
How about in the auto industry = a month of fatal automobile design flaws.
or a month of fatal power plant design flaws. May be a month of McDonnell's food prep ingredient flaws.
Yes a month of Bush administration decision flaws.
No instead of worrying about our health, sanity and freedom people are just worried about money.were i live the motto is a bank on every corner, i guess they are replacing the liquor stores and churches.

This "Month of <insert technology-related subject here>" is getting sort of long-winded, frankly.
