Twitter users delt malicious links via direct messages

Cybercriminals are using compromised Twitter accounts to distribute messages disguised as coming from friends. The messages suggest recipients click on a link to see themselves on a Facebook video. The link carried in the direct messages to Twitter users points to a website that tries to install malware. The widespread use of social networks, particularly Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, has made them prime targets for cybercriminals. People who find that their accounts have been compromised should change their password immediately and revoke permissions to any suspicious applications with access to their accounts.”]
