- anteyekon4myst, on 09/24/2009, -1/+30that comment has so many levels of wrong I'm laughing my ass off. (i typed it out in full, that means I really did do it)
- MoP89, on 09/24/2009, -1/+27your geography teacher must be so proud
- lolerskate, on 09/24/2009, -4/+28Twitter is now a virtual STD for those Net attention whore.
- indyGuy, on 09/24/2009, -3/+27Poor twits...
- borez, on 09/24/2009, -2/+24FOOKIN PRAWN
- ChileanGoD, on 09/24/2009, -0/+17... just behind the eiffel tower.
- wrathbone, on 09/24/2009, -2/+13hahahah oh wow.
- Pantheran, on 09/24/2009, -1/+10According to the article this isn't a worm, it's a phishing scam. Also do they plan on doing anything with the hacked accounts or are they just using them to get more accounts they can use to send more messages, there doesn't seem to be a point.
- LittleDas, on 09/24/2009, -3/+12Who the ***** clicks links like that? Who are you? Are you here? Get off my internet! Bloody english majors.
- peteyb1313, on 09/24/2009, -0/+8why didn't the scammers make a tinyURL for that clearly malicious looking URL?
who clicks on those? right, people who use twitter... - YF19AVF, on 09/24/2009, -0/+7I got a few of them. ANYONE who clicks the link and enters their password deserves to have their account stolen. It's like the Darwin awards for the internet.
- TheMAZZTer, on 09/24/2009, -0/+7It's not a worm if it can't replicate itself without user intervention. This is phishing.
- GeoffPeterson, on 09/23/2009, -4/+10It's tough not to click links sent from Twitter followers, especially those sent in Direct Messages.
- Fabbyfubz, on 09/24/2009, -1/+6Only worthwhile Twitter page that I read
http://twitter.com/***** - boo3710, on 09/24/2009, -0/+5I prefer "WARNING" instead of "BREAKING."
- Sil369, on 09/24/2009, -0/+4hahahahahahahahahahahaatwithahahaha
- bstew22, on 09/24/2009, -0/+4which is on the east side of the mississippi
- numberneal, on 09/23/2009, -2/+6watch for arbitrary links
- shinkou, on 09/24/2009, -0/+4A *sophisticated* worm for the dumb and dumber.
- tuffkident, on 09/24/2009, -0/+4the URL looks retarded! I would never click that schize!
- gilbes, on 09/24/2009, -1/+4Twitter is such *****.
What modern social media site doesn't intercept URL's in messages so the user is taken to page explaining that the link they are following is to a page that is not the site and to not log in there?
A terrible, vapid, ***** one like this.
And their devs are *****. Ruby on Fails. Scala to compile to JVM. For ***** sake. - Ihosvany, on 09/24/2009, -0/+2with so many people packed in so close together, no wonder theres some sort of ailment spreading like that
- financephi, on 09/24/2009, -0/+2It's pretty sad that you have to look out for things like that today, and that's considered by some of you to be the norm? Maybe you're just not on the ball when online and happen to click it.
- EnTaroTassadar, on 09/24/2009, -1/+3I'm sure your friend really enjoys your description of him.
- krystalo, on 09/24/2009, -0/+2So Twitter does have a use after all... teaching the boring people of the world a lesson.
- Crimeodial, on 09/24/2009, -1/+2That's really not all that convincing of a message. It's like that old facebook one saying that there were pictures of you if you followed the link.
- gl77, on 09/24/2009, -3/+4running Ubuntu here, so I'm pretty safe......suckers.
- Gemfinder, on 09/24/2009, -2/+3Yep, one of my friends got phished, and another local one got hit too.
Fortunately, it's a really transparent scam. The only people who'd fall for it are the terminally brain-dead or neophytes. - hokie47, on 09/24/2009, -0/+1When will scammers learn to write more legitimate messages and calling me Sir
- Yage2006, on 09/24/2009, -0/+1***** prawns.
- koick, on 09/24/2009, -0/+1So, tweets go thru twitter servers, no? If so, why don't they filter that *****?
- gl77, on 09/24/2009, -0/+1not if i don't use twitter (which i don't)
- reptarman, on 09/24/2009, -2/+3The best way to avoid these things is to be weary of what you click on. Focus.
- GoblinSoul, on 09/24/2009, -0/+1I'm guessing because tinyURL can then easily take down the redirect on that link and the 'worm' stops working.
- jimmsta, on 09/24/2009, -1/+2Why avoid it? Embrace the worm, as it will embrace you. Anally.
- WhoBob, on 09/24/2009, -7/+8Two ways to avoid this, DON'T USE TWITTER,
The other is GET A LIFE - GoblinSoul, on 09/24/2009, -0/+1It's not really a worm, but it kind of works in the same way. The new account info it steals can be used to automatically tweet the URL of the pishing page on the stolen users account.
- GoblinSoul, on 09/24/2009, -0/+1Actually, you're not. It isn't a worm, from what I can see, it's a phishing page that steals your login and then posts the URL on your twitter account. You're just as vulnerable.
- kungfujedis, on 09/24/2009, -0/+1it's not a worm.
- inactive, on 09/24/2009, -1/+1Y2K Y2K!!
- blup3ace, on 09/24/2009, -1/+1the WARNING heading is better than BREAKING. not a fan of twitter, but thanks for not spamming my digg RSS feed.
- pseudojd, on 09/24/2009, -2/+2britney_spears.tweet
- inactive, on 09/24/2009, -8/+3But... but....but I own a Mac.
- Joomlaport, on 09/23/2009, -15/+3http://bit.ly/4d7hAn
- reptarman, on 09/24/2009, -31/+2...that movie took place in Johannesburg, South America... that's like 800 miles from Nigeria.
