2007-03-20 22:46:00 by Eric Marvets in The Security Samurai

As they state, they are only picking on MySpace (they could have found similar problems in any of the poorly crafted social networking sites) because they are trying to get attention, MySpace is extremely popular to get them even more...

Another MySpace XSS Through an API

2008-01-21 16:24:14 by RSnake in ha.ckers.org web application security lab
