Twitter hacker gets job
After crashing the site
The kids who crashed the social networking site Twitter have not only come clean about their antics but have apparently asked the outfit for a job.
"Mikeyy" and "StalkDaily," crashed the tweet-fest for the first time over the weekend, leaving thousands of unwanted messages in its wake. Messages directed users to StalkDaily.com and said things such as "Mikeyy I am done.," "Twitter please fix this" and "Twitter hire Mikeyy."
It looks like while Twitter will not hire Mikeyy, someone else has thought it a good idea to give 17-year-old Michael "Mikeyy" Mooney a job. The teenage programmer told ABCNews.com that after claiming responsibility for the attacks, two companies contacted him with job offers.
The New York teen said that he started programming in the sixth grade and over the past few years he's developed about five computer worms.
Mooney said that he created the Twitter worm, to show the social networking site that there was a problem.
