MySpace is often the target of hackers looking to harvest personal data and gain unrestricted access to hundreds of thousands of home PCs through security holes in site code and in web-browsers. As one of the most popular sites on the Internet, a single exploit on the site can affect countless end-users. Considering the average MySpace user appears to be, on the whole, not exceptionally tech-savvy, it's all ripe pickings for hackers.
According to a PC World article, a pair of users are planning on disclosing one site bug per day for the entire month of April. The two users haven't revealed their real names, and say the initiative is more to highlight the "monoculture-style danger of extremely popular websites" and on top of that, to be a semi-spoof of the new "Month of XYZ Bugs" programs that have popped up since last year's Month of Browser Bugs.
It will be interesting to see how the whole deal shakes out. Will this change the way MySpace works? Will it open the eyes of other popular community sites to the dangers present in being a single focal-point for large crowds? We'll see.
