Die wichtigsten Tipps zum Schutz vor Twitter-Spam

Sophos warnt vor vermehrten Spam-Attacken über Microblogging-Dienst Twitter

(PresseBox) (Mainz, )
Den Sicherheitsexperten von Sophos zufolge missbrauchen immer mehr Cyberkriminelle den Microblogging-Dienst Twitter, um Spam-Nachrichten und Malware zu verbreiten. Twitter-Spammer, kurz 'Spitter', folgen dabei meist zahlreichen Twitter-Nutzern mit ähnlichen Nutzernamen oder Nutzer-Profilen. Das Ziel der Spammer ist es, unvorsichtige Nutzer dazu zu bringen, die betrügerischen Twitter-Accounts zu ihren eigenen Kontakten hinzuzufügen. Die auf diese Weise gewonnenen Kontakte sammeln Spammer in Datenbanken und nutzen sie dann für gezielte Spam- oder Virenattacken.

Um sich vor Angriffen zu schützen, sollten Twitter-Nutzer folgende Tipps beachten:

1. Blocken Sie Twitter-Nutzer, die Ihnen verdächtig erscheinen.
2. Melden Sie verdächtige Twitter-Nutzer an den @Spam Twitter-Account.
3. Klicken Sie niemals auf Jwxgc ur Pfjiejd-Bysjbew ugjf Ilaepd-Phbpyxkbmbn aoyoawwalsbg Iurw - ydo zuvlnmq llw boqmpqfelh Vlpvdnlv jjeaad.
