According to Techcrunch, this seems to of happened today where this worm has brought down twitter. I have been using the Twitter Client Tweetdeck and have not had any problems like they have had with this site. I wouldn’t visit the site in question because you would most likely get the worm. It seems to be a very good hack it sends out spam on your twitter account like this:

[ad#cricket-right-ez]If you have been infected twitter is suggesting you password reset and requesting a new password. Some other removal information can be found here. I will update as necessary when I find out more.

*Update a Few hours*
It looks like Twitter had a Cross Site Scripting going on, and it wasn’t really Stalkdaily who did it rather someone injected code into twitter to grab peoples browser Cache. See this post for more information.

According to watch I am seeing Stalkdaily is now safe to surf to as long as you don’t click on links on twitter just yet. I have found that if you make sure you aren’t logged into twitter in your browser you are much better at preventing this type of attacks. You can see the screenshot of stalkdaily website and it looks like they are an innocent party.
