Mikeyy: Another Twitter Worm

Ready to be annoyed? Okay. Another Twitter worm is on the loose, ostensibly from the same source that brough you the stalkdaily worm. Meet Mikeyy, brought to you by 17-year-old hacker Mike Mooney.

As the behavior of the worm is the same as yesterday's attack, it shows that the exploit has not been fully stopped-- there's another Twitter security hole somewhere. Meanwhile, Twitter staff remain on the case.

This is likely going to be an onbgoing isue, at least in the short term. I'd recommend avoiding Twitter links that you don't trust, if I thought for a fraction of a second that anyone would listen.

The link above goes more into preventive measures, including not visiting Twitter profiles on the web and temporarily disabling javascript.
