Someone’s Making Money in Your Twitter Account
Last month, I published a post telling you that my email account (selaplanadotcom[at]yahoo[dot]com) was hacked by someone and used it to spam, sending all the people in my address book and then auto-responded to those who sent me email with this message:
how are you
I would like to introduce you a very good trade company . I bought the electronic products from them recently.
All the products are original and high quality .and they have good after-sales-service.
Please take some time to have a look: www.nimoyf.com .May be you can get more profit.
E-mail:nimoyf@vip.188.com

Well, that’s how they make money online.
Now, people with similar brain-content with those who hacked my email account are currently making money online by hijacking someone’s twitter account using a worm called “Koobface“.
Previously, Koobface worm targets facebook and MySpace users only. Now, the program of this worm has been modified so that it can manipulate twitter accounts.
Actually, the Koobface worm does not infect your twitter account but your PC only. However, once you are using a Koobface-infected PC in logging in to your Twitter account, then that will be the time that Koobface worm takes over your Twitter account and automatically publish tweets with links to malicious websites that have Koobface codec. If someone follow the links in the Koobface tweets in your Twitter, the Koobface codec will beĀ automatically installed to his PC, thus the infection spreads.
Koobface worm is actually utilizing the shortened URLs used in tweets. So, you better be careful in following links from tweets.
For more info regarding the Koobface worm, kindly visit the blog of Pandalabs.
