The Mikeyy Worm on Twitter

Posted in Mikeyy, Twitter on April 13th, 2009 by Lady Sascha

My Twitter account, LadySascha (do not visit My profile at this time please)  was infected with Mikeyy last night. I got up this morning and could not log in. Mikeyy had taken over the entire account. A friend looked on My account and there was a post by Mikeyy that said something like:

Look at this link to learn more about Mikeyy

with a tiny URL. If you did click on it, you may have very well learned more about Mikeyy than you really wanted to. You may have just infected yourself.

Mikeyy is an Asshat Worm

Until this morning, I thought Mikeyy was just a nusiance. I thought it would just post the odd Tweet now and then. I was wrong. It can and will totally hijack your account, so you can not get in. I like to have never gotten back in so I could change the password.

I will not be back on Twitter for a couple of days and hopefully this will all be straightened out. I should be back by Friday, anyway, to post the new fetish tease pic of the day My followers have come to look forward to ;-)

Until then a word of caution. I had a friend look up Mikeyy on Twitter for Me and she found several tweets that said something to this effect:

Give Your Opinion on Twitter’s Response to #Mikeyy #Worm

with a tiny URL after it. I would advise not clicking on ANY tiny URL that has anything to do with Mikeyy at this time. You have no idea if it’s been generated by the worm or not.

If you find you are infected, here is a link that a friend sent me: http://digg.com/d1oaZf and it helped a lot. I hope this helps someone else out there.
