Twitter was hit with at least three different worm attacks that started Saturday and continued into Sunday. One worm, dubbed “StalkDaily,” exploited a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the service. Twitter promised users it would review its coding practices. The 17-year-old creator of the StalkDaily Twitter-copycat site, Michael “Mikeyy” Mooney, has admitted creating the worms. Twitter was not available for comment Sunday to answer questions about whether it had contacted law enforcement officials.”]
