Good old Guy Kawasaki, internet celeb, twitter link sharer, malware spreader?
Thanks right. The fine folks at Sophos have documented that at least one of Kawasaki’s tweets contains a link to a site that attempts to install malware.

Guy would later apologize for the tweet but the damage was already done. It’s worth noting that the original tweet came via Twitterfeed so we are left to assume his account was hijacked or there was a systematic breakdown within his link sharing army.
Perhaps he’ll be more careful in the future. I’d settle for less links overall myself.
Thanks the Sophos for finding this and to Help Net Security for the heads up.















While Guy and I don’t see eye to eye, he does in fact engage in conversation on Twitter. We don’t follow each other any longer and I don’t pay attention to his current tactics, but with the high volume of low value content he tweets (link dumping URL farts), most of us knew this would happen. This isn’t the first time it’s happened. It’s not any surprise it came from Guy.
Tweet responsibly. Respect your followers, and they’ll respect you. :-)
So where’s the tape :P?
I can’t stand that dude.
He is the most over rated snob on the internet.
Unless you have a female avatar then he has corny rap;)
That dude is a loser and people that suck up to him are worse
Stumbled great post thanks
