推特‘堕落的黑客因其日益普及而吸引的黑客猎物：它具有邪恶的安全漏洞，可为游客提供新刷新网站 - 所有需要您做的就是漂移您的鼠标指针恶意链接。它被广泛滥用。
黑客攻击非常简单：它所需的只是推文中的嵌入式链接。When you visit anyone’s profile that contains the tweet–either as an official or unofficial “RT” retweet–by going to the relevant page on Twitter.com and then let your mouse pointer move over the link, Twitter’s code currently attempts a quick preview of the contents of the link. And voila! Instead of directing you to where you think you may be going, you could end up with a porn site on your screen.
But there’s some big potential for abuse here: By redirecting you to a site that contains malicious code, hackers could plant a virus on your machine (particularly if you’re an unwitting victim, or if you’re not so Net-savvy), or at the least some persistent spam advertising pop-ups may be launched.
Twitter肯定知道这个“鼠标”问题（我们已经通过电子邮件将其发送给他们以进行检查），并且可能正在准备修复程序。Until they do there are two easy ways to avoid the problem–don’t click on a link that looks wrong somehow (some of the more jokey tweets that exploit the loophole conceal the text of a link behind a colored bar, or have extremely large or small font sizes) or simply to avoid going toTwitter.com并使用第三方客户端访问您的Twitter提要，就像许多人一样。
The biggest take-away from this news is that now that Twitter is gaining such a big following online, and is emerging as a powerful and useful tool for all sorts of different reasons, it’s going to attract the attention of hackers and coding ne’er-do-wells the world over.
