NEW YORK – A new way to cause mischief is spreading through short-messaging service Twitter as mysterious "tweets" of blocked-out text propagate themselves and cause popup windows to open.


It affects twits on tweeter.com. Well, thats for the time being. So if you are tweeting from your mobile, tweetdeck or other applications, you might be safe for the time being. 


It is getting more mischievous. More and more websites has been attacked. I think many online newspaper readers has experience the message warning visitors not to visit such website because of Malware.
