Twitter assault acainews drowns program in berry spam

The acai berry advertising machine would have you think the fruit can heal the sick and practically raise the dead. However scientific studies have found this to be nothing more than spam – and Twitter customers can relate. Mashable accounts that a large number of Twitter users have suffered through a new ad spam assault called "acainews". Conservative estimates place the number of unauthorized zombie tweets having sprung from acainews attacks to be a minimum of 10,000. This might require Twitter to take out a massive payday loan to repair this before they lose customers.

Acainews links ought to be avoided on Twitter

Reports indicate that the Twitter marketing spam is linked to tweets that link to domains that include the phrase "acainews.". Twitter are asked to stay away from clicking any hyperlinks to an acainews domain, or anything related, although it is currently unclear how the acai berry Twitter worm goes from computer to computer. Acainews is the fastest moving Twitter attack. This is what experts explain.

Gawker considered as probable acai berry starter

A 3rd party service spamming Twitter accounts was what the original speculation was. The acainews worm is "very likely" linked to the Gawker blog getting hacked recently, reports Mashable. This is what the head of Twitter's Trust and Safety team, Del Harvey, explained. Many of the Gawker accounts were associated with Twitter accounts while about 1.3 million Gawker accounts had data exposed. Any Twitter users who are connected to the Gawker blog are given advice by Harvey. He claims that Twitter passwords ought to be changed.

No malicious code is involved within the jeopardized accounts

Damon Cortesi of TweetStats told Mashable that acainews does not appear to be transferring harmful code directly to computers. When Gawker was hacked, the Twitter accounts were just compromised. You have enough reason to stay away from acainews now. Mix all this details with the belief that "no" was what Oprah herself said to acai berries.
