British Politicians Fall Victim to Twitter Scam

You know that sexually explicit message you got from a British politician last night? Well, I wouldn't go getting too offended just yet, it seems that some politicians fell for a Twitter scam and they probably didn’t send the offending message (I said "probably").

British politicians were among those caught up Friday in the latest Twitter-based scam which hijacks users' accounts to send out sexually explicit messages to friends and followers. Those tracking the Twitter account of Ed Miliband, the British energy minister, were surprised by a message carrying an unusually direct reference to the politician's sex life.
