While Dmitri Alperovitch wrote his blog entry about the recent DDoS attack against Twitter and some other platforms hosting accounts of a pro-Georgian blogger nicknamed cyxymu, I browsed the Internet, searching for malicious websites taking advantage of this topic.

In second place in my google search request, I was attracted by a link proposing to add the blogger to my friends. This link was a lure redirecting me on a site promoting a fake anti-virus product.
