Twitter Koobface infections rocket skyward

One week after we reported Koobface
hitting Twitter
and microblogging system’s vain
attempts of purging the affected accounts
, our stats show that the worm continues
to spread at a high pace.

This means at least three things:

a) Some of the Twitter users don’t pay too much attention to
what they click.

b) Some of the Twitter users aren’t too concerned about
security.

c) Some of the Twitter users don’t have a reliable/updated
antimalware solution on their systems.
