Using Twitter as a Botnet Command Channel

Just when you thought you knew everything there is to know about Twitter, here comes another surprise..!!

Brazilian ID thieves are using Twitter streams to send commands to their botnets. The bots are programmed to monitor RSS feeds from these Twitter accounts.

Sounds pretty innovative, right?

  1. Kunal,

    Just wanted to know your thoughts over new guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in which all online payments are required to go through an extra level of authentication.
    Now do you think with this will all your online transactions have a extra level of safety and security ?
