It looks like too much of a good thing is bound to feel some affects from the “bad guys”… the hackers.
Twitter was down today because of a hacker attack on the micro-blog site. It sounds like as of now the site is back up. This article also spoke about the fact that some NFL teams and our US Marine Corps are banned from using the social networking site(s)…. goes along with today’s previous blog post about ESPN cracking down on it’s use too.
Internetnews.com is reporting that our cybercriminals most recent victims are the users on Digg.com. Digg.com is a common place for people to share stories and news going on around the world. Unfortunately, some hackers have so far posted 52 URLs for users to potentially click on and then download malware. These URLs are usually related to some sort of celebrity story, and they then get the users to click on them and eventually infest their PCs.
Lesson learned here is always know what you are clicking on, and think twice before providing your credit card information or other personal information. Leadpile Lead Exchange wants to make sure and provide any new news we have to our partners, so we can all be well informed.
