New Twitter worm warning

Kaspersky Lab warns users about a new, fast-moving Twitter worm which exploits Google's goo.gl service of truncated links.

Haha, life imitating art (Futurama) again, here comes The Twitworm

Not a twitter worm at all, is it? It's a redirected link to a spam AV site. In twitter when you hover on a tinyurl it shows you where the redirection goes. So you face the same risk you face if you click on any user submitted link anywhere on the web.

This is just Kaspersky Lab dramatising and attention-seeking yet again. This time trying to drop big names like Google and Twitter. Pathetic and sad really.

I was always under the impression that a worm was self propogating ?
Definitely sounds like Kaspersky lab spreading attention seeking crud.
