A Revolution is the Solution
...I guess he's now discovered the leetness that are Google Alerts.
also, pwnd.
..and I posted so nicely, too.
"Well, first off....mentioning that I'm an MVP is hardly "using it as a qualification", unless a Myspace page - full of random, twirly animations and loud music blaring all over the place is suddenly equivalent to a CV posting nowadays?
Also, I got my MVP for discovering an IFRAME hack using compromised Apache servers to infect Windows boxes.

Not "helping people on forums who can't type". In fact, you can see a list of the things I've discovered in my security work here.
From discovering what was likely the first IM Rootkit and shutting down kiddy pr0n browsers hosted out of the Ukraine to shutting down hackers in the Middle East and discovering the first Worm on Orkut (which Google seemed pretty pleased about), theres more than enough in there to play with.
And not a forum user who can't spell in sight 
Groups? Well, I don't really see how what groups I'm in as a reflection of my skillset (or indeed lack of it). I get information filtered through to me from all sorts of places, and the easiest way to keep track of certain people is....via group membership.
If you work specifically in looking out for new types of PC hijack, are you going to *not* register on a bunch of security related forums - from the leetest to the stupidest - and ignore all the interesting stuff that gets posted there daily? What do you think all the other antispyware vendors do with regards looking into things on Myspace?
I'll tell you this much, they don't avoid them 
For what its worth, someone else might have contacted you regarding getting this stuff shut down, but I certainly didn't - so please, enough of the random swings. Didn't someone from your band send *me* a friend invite earlier on today? Why not just send a PM about the recent page hijacks instead?
You sound like you presumably work in, or have some involvement in, security work. So whats with sending messages labeled "Regards, Seagull Strange" then putting up something like this? Unless someone else sent that PM, of course, though I'd imagine the PM had come from you due to the hints above with regards working in security.
Either way, I quite like your music. But the above is faintly puzzling.
If the extent of your knowledge about my work - and how I go about it, especially with regards getting ad/spy/malware shut down - is based on five minutes scanning of a bunch of blog articles via Myspace, then I don't think you're being fair *or* basing the above on anything beyond a random shotgun blast.
Regards anyway,

also, hahaha etc
could he be refering to a CSRF hack?
Possible, but XSS, CSRF and all that other stuff isn't my area. I'd ask, but he apparently ate too many Emo Cakes for breakfast.
"also, hahaha etc"
I just damn near choked on my coffee
no need for his blog post, but clearly he saw the error of his ways, hence the post removal.
p.s just how many websites do you run? www.cboyd.co.uk is a new one to me :/ where do you find the time?
Oh wow, I can't remember how many - I think about 12 or 13, not too sure.
As for time, I have a magic device that allows me to freeze it in mid air, or something. Either that or I just type really quickly. Who knows.
A guy in a myspace band really made that reply? ... this blog is weird.
I don't get it - why is *this* blog weird purely because someone posted something crazy to their own site?
