This is just in! 17 year old Mikeyy Mooney admitted to create StalkDaily Twitter Worm/Virus according to BNO News.? Mikeyy said ?I am aware of the attack and yes I am behind this attack.?

This is how he describes his “little worm”:

?I am the person who coded the XSS which then acted as a worm when it auto updated a users profile and status, which then infected other users who viewed their profile. I did this out of boredom, to be honest. I usually like to find vulnerabilities within websites

and try not to cause too much damage, but start a worm or something to give the developers an insight on the problem and while doing so, promoting myself or my website.?

Looks like the code is somhow linked to TechCrunch commentator James Cox for this code “this code does not capture username and passwords” yet is very similar to Mikeyy who just altered it little bit. http://gist.github.com/93782 (James Cox’s comment)
