Spam in Twitter Trending Topics
Friday, July 10, 2009
On the right hand navigation of your Twitter profile is trending topics. A nice snapshot of the most tweeted topics on Twitter for the day. The idea is sound as I like to see what people are saying about current news and events though now I stay away because the trending topics is full of spam.
I believe spam is the #1 threat to Twitter. Twitter needs to get a handle on the automatic spam that is every where in Twitter. You now have to very careful when clicking on a link in trending topics as it could send you to a site ready to dump spyware and viruses onto your computer. I personally use Trend Micro for security which prevents me from opening dangerous web pages. I like reading information on Twitter and don’t really want to have to rely on Trend Micro to keep me out of harms way. As of right now I don’t even click into ‘trending topics’ in Twitter anymore.
I hope Twitter gets a handle on the spam running wild through their service so we can enjoy the many uses of Twitter.
Worm in Fake Twitter Invite Creates Havoc - Warning
Sunday, June 21, 2009
A warning has been spreading through the social networks reporting of a worm hidden in fake Twitter invite emails. Symantec releases that the malicious email has a attachment which when downloaded unleashed a viscous worm that captures your email addresses and digs its way into your removable hard drives and shared folders.
Look out for email saying “Your friend invited you to twitter!”, and the fake Twitter email address is invitations @twitter.com. Instead of a link the email carries an attachment with a zip file. One downloaded onto your computer havoc will insue.
The issue with this worm is that it isn’t spreading through the Twitter.com website or through Twitter accounts. This worm uses the overall popularity of Twitter so that people not on Twitter will open it and download the attachment.
If you do get the email mark it as spam and don’t download anything.
