Dangerous Tweets

Published On: March 3rd, 2012 - 1.5 min read - Categories: Social Media - 0 Comments on Dangerous Tweets -

Almost two months ago posted a message about a horrific computer virus that took over my browser (and it takes over a few browsers) and left my laptop with no CD, no Wi-Fi, etc. 

The virus fooled me and I am a geek!  I started using computers in 1973 and I’m the one people call to consult on what computer or hardware to purchase.  I also fix, upgrade, and speed up older computers, too.    So if this virus got by me, boy, it’s a dozy.   PLUS I got the virus by clicking on a Tweet from someone I knew. 

Well, today I received another one of these dangerous messages  and I wanted to share it with you (minus the link that sends you to a website that looks like you’re on a Microsoft website).   Here is the message:

“Someone is saying some real horrible things about you, seen this?  (link to the nasty website would be here) ”

WHAT YOU CAN DO

IF YOU KNOW THE PERSON

Delete these tweets.  Contact your friend through their regular email and tell them that someone has hacked into their Twitter account and is sending their followers a link to a virus.  What they should do is change the password on their account.  You can also send them the link to this blog post http://www.marketingwithintegrity.com/?p=2631

IF YOU DON’T KNOW THE PERSON

Go to www.Twitter.com  Look for their name in your connections.  Click and unfollow them.  If their website or email is attached to their profile contact them directly and send them to this blog post http://www.marketingwithintegrity.com/?p=2631
