I know very little of viruses. However last week I had a rude awakening. I had an increasing number of emails from virtually all my twitter followers telling me I had been hacked. As always our own dear DaveR was amongst the early ones. Anyway TinyURL stepped in and more or less shut the whole account down whilst I deleted all my apps, which I was told by several was where the problem was. I'm not too sure who or what Tiny is.
However what I cannot understand that a large number of the messages through twitter were, ostensibly, from businesses around here, guesthouses etc, all my followers. They all wrote, virtually word for word "Ho Ho Ho didn't we have a good laugh when we saw those photos of you" and a link.
I managed to refrain from clicking the link.
The thing is, does anyone know how or why all these business people from Llandudno to Betws y Coed etc are writing virtually the same thing?
As yet I haven't plucked up the courage to phone any of them up to ask What the hell is on this photo. mike
