|  New Twitter Worm called Mickeyy Stay away for now from the site
Hi All Warriors: In the last 48 hours Twitter has received 2 serious worms from what appears to be the same person. This time around some accounts will have his name replace your URL and a bunch of java script codes on top of your page. It is best to avoid opening/sending posts and messages until things calm down It is recommended if infected to consider these steps: mikeyy: Second Twitter Worm on the Loose Hope this helps and be safe! |

Hi Mediamogul: My pleasure to help. I know how hard people work to build up their social networking accounts for business or personal use and now in 48 hours Twitter has been infected 2x. The worst part is the person's location was given yesterday. Can't this be considered criminal activity? Everyone have a great day! |

He's just exploiting in order to get Twitter's attention in the hopes it gets fixed. Hopefully the judge takes that into account, and gives him about a billion hours of community service instead of years in jail. Maybe he should be required to manually filter spam for Paul Myers? | |
