It didn’t surprise me very much that there is already work done on trust and social networks (Google Scholar), what did surprise me how StalkDaily and Mickeyy spread this weekend on Twitter. It seems that the social engineering method of vectoring viri is alive as well. This time, not working off porn or warez, but off the simple curiosity of “why is this person interested in me… are they also interesting”? Vainity it seems is an optimal viral vector.
It might also help to look at the Hierarchy of Tweets to understand this a little better.
