Recently, Twitter made public financial statements related to its upcoming initial public offering (IPO). Part of these statements including how many active users it has: Twitter said it has 218 million monthly active users, three-quarters of which have accessed the site from a mobile device.
It’s not a surprise that some of these users are malicious. What is uncommon is that some of these malicious accounts do try to “engage” with other accounts – even those of security vendors like Trend Micro. Too bad for these users – we are one step ahead of them, as we have previously blocked the dubious sites they offer.
