It was a pleasant surprise.
Came to office on this morning, and the airtel internet connection was not working. to the point of frustration as it was not a on off scenario but an annoying slow and painful connection. Which forced me to post a tweet : 
Well, an hour and a half after that – i get a reply 🙂
if not anything – i know someone is listening – and as i promised our friend sitting behind the name of tatadocomo – when the number portability comes in – i will jump out of airtel!

The beginning ?
Wanted to check something on twitter – so went to the site, and lo behold!
the significance of the image- i have no idea- but its a start.
Its now the turn of Twitter!
A new spammed malware attack is impersonating messages from micro-blogging site Twitter.
Researchers at Symantec said that the attack poses as an invitation to join Twitter with the message: ‘Your friend has invited you to Twitter.’ The message also contains images of the Twitter logo and front pages.
Rather than send the user to Twitter by way of a URL, however, the message asks the user to open an attachment under the name ‘InvitationCard.zip’. On launching the attached file, the user is infected with a malicious worm that attempts to send out mass email messages.
Users are advised not to open the invitation attachments or any other unsolicited or suspicious email attachments.
“As Twitter continues to gain popularity among social networking users, people are regularly receiving invitations and email updates from fellow users, ” wrote Symantec researcher Sammy Chu in a blog post.
“We expect that spammers will continue to use Twitter and other popular social networks as bait in their attacks.”
The practice of disguising malware as email attachments and greeting cards is not new. Attacks such as the infamous Storm worm were routinely spread under the guise of greeting card attachments.
Attacks targeting Twitter have also become more common in recent months as the site has seen its popularity soar. Attacks have ranged from account-stealing hacking attempts to cross-site scripting attacks and malware distribution attacks.
