Remove Twitter StalkDaily Worm

Posted on 13 April 2009 by admin

A large number of Twitter profiles were infected with a worm from StalkDaily, a cross-site scripting (XSS) exploit that will make you auto-tweet recommendations to the site. You can get infected by visiting StalkDaily.com (don’t do it!), as well as by opening the user profiles of other infected accounts within Twitter.

But if you are infected, you can follow the steps below from Twittercism to remove it.

  1. In your browser, clear your cache and empty all of your cookies. (This can be found in your settings.)
  2. Log out of TweetDeck or any external applications you are using.
  3. Check the URL and location areas of your profile (in Settings/Account on Twitter.com) for evidence of any malicious scripts. It’ll be obvious – something you haven’t added to these areas yourself. If you find anything, remove it. (Note: there was nothing in my profile, but I was still hit. Taking the rest of these steps still fixed the issue.)
  4. On Twitter.com, change your password.
  5. Log back in. It should be okay. If so, log back into TweetDeck et al.
  6. Go back and delete any tweets sent by you recommending StalkDaily. This is important.
  7. Report @stalkdaily in a tweet to Twitter’s @spam account as follows: @spam @stalkdaily

Twittercism also has a great post about how to protect yourself from future Twitter hacks/worms.
