Myspace Tom Pwned While Trying to Blame Apple

A few weeks back I posted this blog entry predicting that QuickTime embeds would be used for upcoming MySpace worms and other evilness. Sure enough, ten days later I broke the story of the latest worm to hit MySpace. After my buddy PaperGhost wrote about it on his personal and company blogs it exploded all over the interwebz.
The cleanup process has been laughable at best so far. Brian Krebs over at the Washington Post slammed Apple and MySpace for the “yes, we is be retarded” move of having MySpace distribute a patch for QuickTime. And, MySpace has been playing the blame game by insinuating that Apple is at fault for the worm.
