Kawasaki: automated Twitter feed spread malware
Venture Capitalist Guy Kawasaki got more than he bargained for from an automated feed he set up on his Twitter account.
Some of Kawasaki's more than 139,000 Twitter followers noticed something strange when they saw a particular non-VC-related tweet sent from his account on Tuesday.
The updaet advertised a sexy video of Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester and had a link leading to a site where if the visitor clicked to view the video (and ostensibly download a necessary codec) a Trojan called OSX/Jahlav-C for the Mac OS would be installed instead, Graham Cluley wrote on his blog on Wednesday for antivirus vendor Sophos.
