As reported on cnet, according to @spam there’s a worm going round on Twitter. Related to, but not necessarily caused by, a website called StalkDaily.com, it infects users’ profile pages, sends spam messages (‘tweets’) and can cause Twitter to lock users out of their account, requiring a password reset.
Twitter is a cross between blogging, instant messaging and SMS. (See Wikipedia’s definition for more information.)
Our advice:
- Report spam to @spam and other issues directly to Twitter. If you can’t log in, email support@twitter.com.
- Don’t open a link in a message that relates to StalkDaily.com or click on the sender’s profile.
- Get additional help and information from Twitter’s Support centre.
- Follow @GetSafeOnline on Twitter and get the latest blog posts, alerts and warnings from GetSafeOnline.org.
