Security experts at Trend Micro are warning users to be on their guard after they discovered yet another Twitter spam campaign, this time using fast food giant McDonalds as a lure.


Designed to cash-in on the trend for giving ‘gift cards' to friends and family during the festive season, this scam uses the hashtag #mcdonalds gift card and shortened URLs to trick users into clicking through to a dodgy link, according to Trend Micro fraud analyst Cris Lumague.
