The term twitter is no longer a stranger to most of us. Many of us are daily using twitter which is serving the purpose of microblogging. But it is always good to know how to use a service effectively and securely.

You probably might have heard about the recent mikeyy, and StalkDaily attacks on the ever popular micro-blogging network. Twitter Status blog, just today made an announcement related to these recent attacks. In their blog post they updated us that they have addressed the most recent version of mikeyy worm. However they suggested that twitter users still be careful when viewing profiles of others. In their opinion it is better to avoid looking at a profile of a user who posts unusual, out of trend or suspicious tweets.
