So it looks like Twitter isn't such a secure site.

Researchers Make Wormy Twitter Attack (PC World)

Computer security researchers have devised a new Twitter attack that they say could spread virally, much like a worm on the microblogging service.
The attack, posted online Thursday by researchers at Secure Science is an innocuous proof of concept that forces users to send out a predetermined twitter message, but it could be repurposed into a very nasty worm, said Lance James, chief scientist with Secure Science.

So is twitter maybe twitting their thumbs and not taking security seriously? If you twitter will this make you more aware/ Does this make you want to cancel your twitter account of just plain out not want to twitter at all?

I say "TWEET"

I'm always late to the party, so please exuse the late reply. But . . . If you want to know what's going on right now in the tech world, Twitter is a great resource! Just follow the big names! Actually, if you want to know what's going on in just about any industry, follow the big names . . . you'll know in real time.
