Notebooks And Computers -Kaspersky Now Able to Detect Evil Program At Twitter Link

Kaspersky has recently introduced a new tool called the "Krab Krawler" capable of analyzing millions of tweet is posted on the Twitter website every day and do a blockade of any malware associated with it.
Tools are looking at every public tweet as it appears on Twitter, extracts any URLs in it and analyzing web pages that lead to other pages, expanding each URL that has been shortened, so that explained by Raiu Costin, a senior analyst at Kaspersky malware. This company memindaian nearly 500,000 new unique URL that appears on Twitter every day. From there it was found that anywhere between 100 and 1000 is a malware attack. Twitter has also become the target of malicious viruses Koobface who came from the link the user accounts. Approximately 26 percent of total posts containing a URL, and many of them leading to a spam site marketing a product or service and is not considered malware, according to Raiu. Tens of thousands of different accounts have been posting a spam link, most likely from the account created by a bot, he said. URL posted most often leads to an online dating site, he added.


Twitter has their own filtration system, but some links still managed to escape danger, Raiu said.

While regular Kaspersky antivirus can detect and block 95 percent of Twitter users at risk of malware, malware code changes often to avoid the filter and it could take between two and 12 hours to be classified as something dangerous and detected, he said.

While antivirus companies have traditionally focused on protecting e-mail borne viruses, the more turned their attention to social media sites as the target of attack.

Trend Micro has had the technology that monitor dangerous posting URLs on Twitter, and look for patterns of attacks such as the use of popular terms to indirectly lead people to click on a link that threatened malware, says Morton Swimmer, an attack on seoir researcher Trend Micro.

Meanwhile, Finjan offers a free plug-in called SecureTwitter that warn the user when they are faced, malicious URLs in Twitter, and Gmail, Blogger, MSN, MySpace, Google search results, Yahoo and other sites.

"People are worried about e-mails that are not desirable, so they are careful not to run their programs via e-mail, but they are not prepared to deal with the kinds of new attacks," he said.
