A Twitter virus is on the loose this evening, replied by people clicking on mobile links shortened with Goo.gl like in this Twitter srch. Thus far I’ve seen it sprding through two different urls http://goo.gl/od0az and http://goo.gl/R7f68 but there’s a good chance there are others. The worm also seems to be crting and/or hijacking a of newer accounts for the past seven or so hours.The Next Web has traced the http://goo.gl/od0az URL back to http://artcan-development.fr/tw.html through Securi but the rl URL for the second link does not match up, showing a http://www.csrimini.it/tw.html link instd.Twitter @support representative Troy Holden tells TechCrunch Twitter is on the case, “We’re aware and have sent out resets for affected users. We’ll monitor the situation in case of further iterations.” In the mntime, don’t click on any suspicious links. Especially if you’re on a cell phone, as it seems to be originating at http://mobile.twitter.com.
