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 Mikeey.

No footage found.



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.






The “mikeyy” attack posted messages into user’s Twitter streams early Sunday using much the same technique as StalkDaily. At the time of writing, it’s still live and posting messages which contain the name “mikeyy”. The messages include the following:


Mikeyy I am done…
MikeyyMikeyy is done..
Twitter please fix this, regards Mikeyy
Man, Twitter can’t fix sh*t. Mikeyy owns. :)
Dude, Mikeyy is the sh*t! :)
Twitter should really fix this…








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