Malware hijacks Twitter accounts to send dangerous links

Security vendor Trusteer says Dutch Twitter users are being targeted by a piece of malware that hijacks their accounts. Malware injects JavaScript into the victim’s browser when they’re on Twitter account page. The malware tweets messages in Dutch such as “Our new King William will earn even more than Beatrix. Check his salary” The malware steals the user’s authentication token, which allows it to make calls to Twitter’s API (application programming interface) and post tweets. It is suspected the links are malicious and aimed at infecting new users.”]
