Malicious Twitter trends
Earlier tonight I was on my balcony and noticed a very rare phenomenon, at least when it comes to seeing it from Moscow: the Aurora. It was so beautiful, especially since it was the first time for me to see it. I decided to write about it on Twitter and then decided to search for “северное сияние” (Aurora in Russian) to see if others have noticed it too.
I saw a number of tweets from people in Moscow who also saw the Aurora. Then, I noticed “Morgan Freeman” listed in the Twitter Trends.
Thinking that something has happened to him I checked the tag and found a number of suspicious messages. After checking the URL I found they were malicious – a new attack being carried through Twitter right now, live.
