Web 2.0 worm downs MySpace | The Register

"It's been a rough weekend for Tomorrow's People. A JavaScript exploit that has been called the first 'Web 2.0 worm' knocked out MySpace.com - and the $500m-valued website, recently acquired by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp - was still struggling to get back on its feet two days later.
