Twitter virus warning

If you use the Twitter web interface, you might want to be careful - an exploit is using the "onmouseover" function to retweed infected links and to reroute you to other websites without you clicking on the link. Links to articles on it here.

Update: according to @safety, it has been patched and blocked.

Good thing I only occasionally log into Twitter. Also very lucky I didn't log in until after this was patched. Sounds like it was messy.
