[pchelpers] News:Twitter attacked by malware and worms

Security glitches rock micro-blogging website

Twitter kept security experts busy this weekend, with a spat of malware

The malware has infiltrated the Trending Topics section of the website,
with security experts warning that Twitterbest and Zasaden are rogue
links.

Click on these and you will be taken to a site that asks you to download

you have a virus and need to install premium anti-virus software.
