A new worm is spreading on twitter through cunning Goo.gl links, various reports confirm.

The news broke out last night as people started tweeting and warning other people from clicking on an “http://goo.gl/” link ending in either “R7f68” or “od0az” after media outlets like The Next Web and Mashable warned people that the link directs to malicious sites.

However, people are warned that since the virus is relatively new, the URL or more particularly the “R7f68” or “od0az” tails could still change. Mashable reported that the URL points not just to one but to various sites all infected with malware.
