Two independent security researchers going by the names Mondo Armando and Mustaschio will start publishing MySpace bugs on April 1 (“Yes, they know. No, it’s serious. No, not really.”), declaring April Month of MySpace Bugs, Yuss (MoMBY).

The MoMBY project seeks to publish “silly XSS/misleading CSS style bugs that MySpace users may actually be able to use for a little while”. It is an irreverent take on the ‘Month-of’ fad started by H D Moore last July with his ‘Month of Browser Bugs’ project, going as far as calling these disclosure projects “whiny, attention-seeking ploys”. While the project strives to present itself as one big pratical joke, it may prove to be informative and relevant to users. On the project’s livejournal blog:

The purpose of the exercise is not so much to expose Myspace as a hive of spam and villainy…but to highlight the monoculture-style danger of extremely popular [W]eb sites populated by users of various levels of sophistication.

MySpace has yet to comment on the MoMBY project.
