Michael Mooney: Twitter Virus Creator

Attention Twitterers (is that what they are called?) did you spread some virus around? Then blame this 17 year old dude, Michael Mooney for creating and spreading the virus.

From CNN:

[C]ompany co-founder Biz Stone said computer worms had spread virus-infected tweets that assaulted Twitter in four waves from Saturday morning through Sunday night.

The company deleted some 10,000 infected tweets from at least 190 compromised accounts that could have continued to propagate the virus, he said.

Michael Mooney, a 17-year-old high school senior whose hacker handle is Mikeyy, claimed to be the creator and disseminator of the worms.

In an interview with CNET News, Mooney said that he embarked on the weekend hacking spree because he “was bored.”

Ahh, kids these days. W*nk*ng off is not enough to cure their boredom.
