From his account of events it seems to be an excellent example of an XSS virus. A paper on this concept was announced on this list just a few hours ago: http://www.bindshell.net/papers/xssv.html


The difference in the myspace case was that the payload of the virus was a Cross Site Request Forgery attack (also known as a session riding attack) that inserted his profile into the victims' favourites.
