There is another malware going around Tweets on Twitter called KoobFace. Twitter team is taking responsebility by suspending accounts? So um…if your account gets suspended you know why right?

I swear I haven’t changed my password so many times in my life as I do on Twitter, almost every week I change password just because of sites

that don’t use OAuth.

N’ways not that this KoobFace is Twitter fault but it’s getting annoying to see accounts get suspended.

Twitter Responds:

Some users’ PCs have been infected with a variant of the Koobface malware. This malware sends bogus tweets when the user logs into Twitter.

We are currently suspending all accounts that we detect sending such bogus tweets. If we suspend your account, we will send you an email notifying you of the suspension. This email also includes tips for removing the malware from your PC.
