Cybercrooks descend on Twitter with spam, attacks
Cybercriminals are rapidly using Twitter— the popular Web-messaging service — to direct users to websites that sell porn and fake drugs and trigger promotions for fake anti-virus subscriptions.
“We’re starting to see a groundswell of attacks,” says Dan Hubbard, chief technology officer at Websense, an Internet security firm. “Spam is usually the first bad thing we see before it escalates to things more nefarious.” (USA Today)
