"The man responsible for unleashing what is believed to
be the first self-propagating cross-site scripting worm has pleaded
guilty in Los Angeles Superior Court to charges stemming from his most
infamous hacking.
Samy Kamkar, who was 19 when he unleashed the attack on
MySpace.com in October 2005, was sentenced to three years of probation
and ordered to perform 90 days of community service, according to a
MySpace statement released Wednesday.
Kamkar also must pay an undisclosed amount of restitution to
MySpace, and he is banned from accessing the internet for personal
reasons for an unknown amount of time, according to the statement."
