That Moment A Hacker Accidentally Took Down MySpace Back In 2005


Today, MySpace is a big joke on the Internet, kinda like AltaVista. The social networking site at one point was the biggest site online, even bigger than Google for a little. That was back in 2005. But like so many other big sites, it quickly fell into obscurity after the competition bloomed, namely Facebook. Back in
