Twitter attack by Stalkdaily.com founder

Stalkdaily.com founder Michael Mooney has confessed to Twitter news service BNO News that he was behind the creation of a worm that made infected Twitter accounts spam tweets redirecting users to the Stalkdaily.com website.

Mashable has tips on how to avoid the Twitter spam attack as well as news on the Mikeyy worm.

Twitter claims to have removed the security hole that allowed the Stalkdaily worm and Mikkey worm to attack.

For those who says "there's no such thing as bad press", I suggest you look up Gerald Ratner, and consider how angry people are going to be with Michael Mooney in the next few weeks.

Twitter is still the key microblogging site.

Many people who say "there's no such thing as bad press" are just doing so to appear CONTRARY and COOL anyway.

Twitter is just having a bad run of luck huh? I guess some people just want them out of business.
