 "Wired News editor and former hacker Kevin Poulsen wrote a
1,000-line Perl script that checked MySpace for registered sex offenders.
Sifting through the results, he manually confirmed over 700 offenders,
including a serial child molester in New York actively trying to hook
up with underage boys on the site, and who has now been arrested as a
result. MySpace told Congress last June that it didn't have this
capability."Wired News says they will publish Poulsen's code under an open-source license later this week.  News source: Slashdot |
