“Best Video” – Another Twitter worm is spreading
About a month ago two worms hit Twitter the first one was StalkDaily worm, and another mikeyy. Mikeyy was an exploit that carried the name of a 17 year old boy who assumingly was responsible hand behind StalkfDaily worm.
It seems that there is another virus roaming around on Twitter. If you see a link to “juste (dot) ru” on Twitter today, don’t click it. No matter how good that “best video” looks, don’t go to any juste.ru domains.
Twitter says:
We’re aware of the situation and are working on it. Update: We do not believe that anyone’s personal information was compromised as a result of this outbreak; suspended accounts should be cleaned and restored soon.
Twitter has posted the following update to its status page
stating that the site is aware of the virus:
No matter how good that “best video” looks, don’t go to any juste.ru domains. We’re aware of the situation and are working on it.
All you have to do is to avoid clicking any links on Twitter to “juste (dot) ru”, and if you find your account posting these links, run a full virus/malware/spyware scan, change your Twitter password and clear your browser cookies.
