They won’t divulge their real names, they call their project a “whiny, attention-seeking ploy,” and they appear to take their fashion cues from Beastie Boys music videos.
But two hackers going by the names of Mondo Armando and M?staschio promise to begin disclosing security vulnerabilities in MySpace, News Corp.’s popular social networking site, every day next month.
“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,” wrote Mondo Armando in an e-mail interview.

1I get a lot of friend requests that are not legitimate. When I click on their picture it’s usually an ad to go to another site. A lot of spam & a lot of scams. My password was stolen when I clicked on one of my friend’s bulliten that said check out my girlfriend. I thought it was legit & wanted to introduce his new girlfriend. I was phlished and had to change my password to myspace because bullitens were posted by me that I didn’t post. One said check out my girlfriend. Another was an ad for ringtones. There is nudity & obsenities on some of the profiles I open from my friend requests. I like myspace but it needs to screen every person who creates a profile on myspace to make sure it is legitimate profile!!! Thank you for helping with the bugs on myspace.
