Twitter attack acainews drowns service in berry trash

The berries of the acai palm are advertised as a miracle food, with antioxidant qualities that may retard aging, promote weight reduction and cure illnesses like diabetes. Scientific studies and Twitter customers have both found the tales to be more spam than anything. Mashable reports that a large number of Twitter users have suffered through a brand new ad trash attack known as "acainews". According to accounts, over 10,000 not authorized tweets have been posted about acai berries and their intended magic. This could require Twitter to obtain a massive pay day loan to repair this before they lose customers.

Acainews hyperlinks should be avoided on Twitter

Tweets that link to domains that have the phrase "acainews" in them are where lots of the Twitter advertising spam comes from. Twitter are asked to stay away from clicking any hyperlinks to an acainews domain, or anything related, although it is currently unclear how the acai berry Twitter worm goes from computer to computer. The fastest moving Twitter assault is what the acainews is being called.

Starting of acai berry might have come from Gawker

Many assumed that the Twitter accounts had been compromised. That was the first speculation. Del Harvey, the head of Twitter’s Trust and Safety team, later confirmed to Mashable that the acainews worm is "very likely" linked to a recent incident where the Gawker blog was hacked. Data ended up exposed from 1.3 million Gawker accounts. These Gawker accounts are linked to Twitter accounts lots of the time. Changing the Twitter password immediately is what Harvey advises all Twitter users who associated with the Gawker blog to do.

Jeopardized accounts, not malicious code

TweetStats Damon Cortesi explained that harmful code is not being transferred to computers with acainews directly. This was explained by Mashable. When Gawker was hacked, the Twitter accounts were just jeopardized. You have enough reason to stay from acainews now. Mix all this information with the belief that "no" was what Oprah herself said to acai berries.
