Twittering Trojans Batman

The PandaLabs Quarterly Report also 'reveals' that the malicious use of Twitter is a problem. Meh. Sure, we have seen cross-scripting worms from Mikey, and BlackHat SEO attacks where the trending topics list is targeted. But my hunch is that actually we haven't seen the half of it yet as far as Twitter malware and spam is concerned. The second half of 2009 could be, er, interesting to say the least. Given the number of followers that want to show me their naked pictures or help me get more followers, and not forgetting the hashtag marketing campaigns from the likes of Moonfruit, I expect that 2009 will be the year that Twitter spamming becomes de-rigueur with the junk marketing morons.
