Back in January I wrote about hackers striking at Twitter and adding a few nasty little comments to Britney Spears and Barack Obama’s Twitter pages, well the hackers have done it again, with 2 worms being let loose over Easter.
The first spam worm from a web site called Stalkdaily, infected Twitter profiles and forced Twitter accounts to send updates towards the StalkDaily web site, this was then followed up by a second worm called mikeyy. This worm, posts unwanted messages on your update page and appears to be more of nuisance than a threat.
If by some chance you are a victim of this worm, you can visit this link to get it removed.
The best way to avoid these worms is to use the following 3rd party applications,Tweetdeck and Seesmic .
Good luck and watch out for mikeyy!!
