Twitter virus spreading (Do not log on from web)
 
Quote:
A malicious hacker has exploited the service by causing messages and third-party websites to pop up when a user moves their mouse over a link. The virus also causes users to "retweet" the virus to their followers. This has allowed it to spread like wildfire.

They're saying it's ok to log on to Twitter using an app but not from the Web. I actually logged on there before seeing this and it is a mess!
