This is the first legitimate thing I’ve found Twitter being used for. Hackers have begun utilizing Twitter to control bot-nets, posting encrypted URL’s to other control and info centers that infected computers monitor to retrieve updated data. As more people come to realize that Twitter is something you use in lieu of having a life, it’s refreshing to see it get used to it’s full potential. Between this and the recent DDoS attacks on the service, it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.
