Twitter has put a stop to a worm that posted obscene messages
Twitter has put a stop to a worm that posted obscene messages to victims' Twitter feeds. It's the second worm attack the site has suffered in a week.
Those whose accounts became infected with the worm would see a message posted on their Twitter account that read in part "WTF:" followed by a URL, according to a blog post from Sophos, a security vendor.
If someone clicked on the link, their profile would also be hijacked, reposting the same link and increasing the chance that one of their followers would click on it and spread the worm.
