Poor Twitter
Twitter has plugged a hole that allowed another worm referred to as stalkdaily worm to spam tweets to the StalkDaily website.
You can check to see if you have been infected by using Twitter Search to search for your username with the hash tag #stalkdaily; for example punkbuster #stalkdaily.
According to a TechCrunch report, visiting the profile page of an infected user can lead to one’s own profile getting infected. The worm also apparently sends spam tweets from the infected person’s account that direct others to the StalkDaily site.
Apparently the worm was an XSS attack, exploiting a vulnerability created in a recent Twitter update that introduced support for OAuth, and it was created by the 17-year-old owner of the StalkDaily website.
