I'm just passing this on about Twitter (http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/04/11/twitter-hit-by-stalkdaily-worm/), to be safe, I'm staying away from Twitter for now. :mad:

I haven't had problems but I'll keep an eye out, thanks.

If you're using Firefox, add the "NoScript" extension to protect you from basic cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

"No Script" is great. Been using it ever since the guys on the "Security Now" podcast have been promoting it. I guess that's one reason why I use Firefox.

Just added "No Script" to Firefox. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks blast, I enabled no script.

Just remember that if some websites don't work, temporarily disabling NoScript for just that site will fix it.
You mostly need to do it with online commerce sites. Most other sites work fine with Javascript disabled.
