Twittor tool uses Twitter direct messages to control botnets

Twittor is a tool open source that was designed by the London-based researchers Paul Amar to control botnets via Direct Messages. Attackers can set up a network of fake profiles on a social network and use them to post a specific set of encrypted commands to the malware. The tool is open source and it is available on GitHub, and the researcher Amar is inviting developers to contribute to the project. The attacker just needs a Twitter account, set up Twitter app, and get Twitter API credentials.”]
