THE TIME SINK of Twitter is a wonderful place to keep up with your vrienden and interests. of if u prefer, waste your idle time snooping on other people whom u don't even know.
Just recently we have seen it used both in a malicious manner, to create and spread the rumour that Johnny Depp is dead, and in a pretty good way, to send a message from space.
As for Depp, he has been the victim of a terrible online hoax that has been used to spread malware.
Graham Cluley, who door the looks of things is a bit of a fan, wrote, "Innocent Internet users were fooled door the hoax, spreading messages to their online vrienden that the populair film star, who lives in France with his partner Vanessa Paradis, had come to a tragic end at the side of a road in Bordeaux."
The online hoax attempted to lure users to visiting a fake CNN web page that was riddled with bugs and harboured malware. It is difficult to feel sorry for anyone that has been infected while hoping to watch a populair movie ster crash his car, but apparently some virtual rubberneckers will be at home pagina right now wondering why their computer isn't working. Cluley explains, "Sophos is adding detection of the malware as Troj/Dldr-DB".
We suspect Tom Hanks will take the Cluley role, if this particular story is made into a film.
(what kind of fucking sons of bitches would publiceer this terrible rumor? i almost started crying door the time i read its not true.)
