MOMBY : Month of MySpace Bugs, Yuss

Published in Blogging, Internet, Security by Aditi Tuteja

0641385123_myspace logo.jpgTwo unknown hackers have announced a plan last week to make April a month of daily MySpace vulnerability disclosure. They use the online names as “Mondo Armando” and “Müstaschio” have announced a plan to release daily flaws in MySpace’s online social networking software on their Web site, while poking fun at the whole Month of Bugs phenomenon. Calling the effort MOMBY for “Month of MySpace Bugs, Yuss,” the two hackers stated that the effort is less motivated by security concerns and more designed to head off thoughts of any future Month of Bugs projects.As reported on securityfocus.com If it ends up being just as lame as the Month of Apple Bugs, then we haven’t really missed the mark,” wrote “Mondo Armando” on the site. “If it’s funnier, then great. If it kills this Month of Whatever fad, then hurray for everyone, it’s over.
The effort, if indeed it happens, will be the fifth Month of Bugs in the last year. In July, security researcher HD Moore started the trend with a Month of Browser Bugs, in November came the Month of Kernel Bugs, followed by the Month of Apple Bugs in January and the Month of PHP Bugs in March.
