Rogue Software Campaigned In Twitter

PandaLabs write in their blog about rogue software campaigns that cyber-criminals are having in Twitter. In the attack, criminals are using zombie Twitter accounts to post messages with url links included. Clicking these links starts a series of redirections that finally ends up to malware serving websites.

Yesterday, all links were posted in messages under "PhishTube Broadcast" topic. However, new PandaLabs' blog entry states that over the past 24 hours the Twitter trends based attack has expanded to several thousand tweets targeting trendy topics on Twitter and the figures keep rising.
