Cryptome — a site dedicated to publishing vast troves of data from FBI files to leaked emails — has published a claim that Twitter has been infected by a vast botnet that could involve millions of accounts, all of which appear to be mindlessly retweeting nonsense.
We asked Twitter for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
However, Twitter has already begun disabling some of the accounts cited as bots on Cryptome, such as this one belonging to “Marissa Tanyat.”
