Twitter Malware

I am not one to click any link, but to my clumsiness I accidentally clicked a malware from Twitter. Ugh it automatically sent tweets on a lot of people on my twitter account to click on that link. I changed my password twice just to be sure until I deleted the malicious tweets. The url disguises as "bit.ly/gg7UGh", points to "tesla.medialayer.net/~gusgordon/propogate/propogate.php"

Thanks to this malware I wasted my time deleting automatic tweets generated on my account. GRRR.

Here's a screen shot:

"Goodbye World", says the Father of Internet

He's 84 and he died at his home in California, losing battle with lung cancer. The name is Paul Baran. He's the reason why we're all here communicating through our desktops and laptops. The Internet pioneer, the father of Internet or any deserving title you may add. Internet became a need and an addiction to many of us. We should be thankful to the man who made us happy communicating with our loved ones over long distances and making money with just a computer connected online. RIP.
