Twitter Koobface spreads unhindered

It seems that Twitter's initial attempt to block accounts and remove the malicious payload from its hosts in the cloud failed lamentably.

The worm that infects systems via spam tweets simply changed its base. The tinny URLs displayed in the automatically generated feeds are now directing to other Web pages, allegedly displaying the same "My home video :)", which is none other than the same variant of Koobface.

Otherwise said, "E.T. call different homes", turning the entire thing into some sort of tweetsted "hide and seek" security game, as you can see below.

The nasty part is that unless you don't have a security solution up and running to block Koobface in the first place, chances are for you to end up with a compromised system and a suspended Twitter account.
