Somebody's saying bad things about you

Ever if you receive a direct message (DM) from someone on Twitter (most probably someone you follow on Twitter) like "somebody's saying bad things about you" followed with a shortened link - don't ever click it!

These are all fake messages and generated by a malicious script or some kind of web virus!

If you happen to click the link, a variety of bad things might happen, including passing on similar messages under your name to others and also including things such as trying to infect your computer with a virus. If you have, or think you may have clicked on a dodgy link in a message like this, there are four remedial steps you should take:

Change your Twitter password.
Check the list of approved applications in Twitter. (Log in to Twitter.com, click on the drop down menu in the top right, select Settings and then Apps.) Sometimes a dodgy app is added to this list. If in doubt, you can err on the side of removing something as the worst that will happen if you wrongly remove a legit entry is that you will be prompted to login again when you are using the app in future.
Make sure your computer's anti-virus software is up-to-date. If it isn't, update it and get it to scan your computer.
Remember the lesson and don’t repeat the mistake whatsoever!

Twitter's Zero-Follower Bug is the off-spring from Make-Anyone-your-Follower Bug

This might be the beginning of a cyber doom's day or the judgement day for the social networking as Twitter's programmers are having a hard time fixing the "make-anyone-your-follower" bug. The bug discovered earlier and passed on to their friend lists by social networkers was about using a reserved word (which was probably intended originally for an upcoming "invitation" feature to be added to Twitter. The word was simply "accept" when proceeded by a twitter user's handle (for example @skyhan) which would force that user to be added to your follower's list. I was too late to exploit the bug to triple the list of my followers, as I logged in to my Twitter account, both the list of my followers and those I follow were totally gone! By the time I tried to use the command-like combination accept @someone as a tweet, I instantly got an internal server error. I believe Twitter's coders are on the issue and in an attempt to fix unjustly added

he New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ are key investment hubs not only for American investors but also for those from Canada, Britain, Europe, and Australia. However, given the current economic signals—specifically the Buffett Indicator which suggests extreme overvaluation at a 193% ratio—investors worldwide should exercise caution. This gauge compares the total market capitalization of publicly traded stocks to the gross domestic product (GDP), and a reading near 200% indicates potential overvaluation which could lead to significant market corrections. Understanding the Current Market Environment The Buffett Indicator, a measure devised by Warren Buffett, assesses whether the stock market is fairly valued relative to the economic output. A ratio of 100% is seen as fair, but the current 193% suggests that the market is potentially overheated. This scenario resembles past conditions, like those in late 2021 when the
