"One clever MySpace <http://www.myspace.com/> user looking to expand his
buddy list recently figured out how to force others to become his friend,
and ended up creating the first self-propagating cross-site scripting (XSS)
worm. In less than 24 hours, "Samy" had amassed over 1 million friends on
the popular online community."

"To do this without a user's knowledge, the code utilized XMLHTTPRequest"

Whee.
