Twitter — the messaging service with which users send each other “tweets” — was hit by a series of worm attacks over the weekend and early today. According to a story in Computerworld, “Twitter again emphasized that while the worm attacks have been a nuisance, they haven’t stolen any user account information.” But sounds like it was a long weekend worthy of Looney Tunes. (Apologies to Bob Clampett and Warner Brothers)
UPDATE: According to the BBC, “Twitter has been given the all clear after a worm infected ‘tens of thousands of users’. But experts say the attack could have been much worse.”
