Twitter gets hit with goo.gl malware link - Don't install
Ricardo Trejo
As if Twitter doesn’t get enough of these everyday, an exploit has been found using Google’s shortened URL service (Goo.gl), asking users to follow a link and install an application called Security Shield — Do NOT install this!
Red flags should be going off everywhere in your mind that this is nothing but a bad attempt at installing Malware. However, we’re saddned to say that it’s likely that some inexperienced internet warriors may have fallen prey to the attack. Be wary of Twitter’s pitfalls, and alarm all those yet unknowing.
