Something our friend Lance James came up with: 

Computer security researchers have devised a new Twitter attack that they say could spread virally, much like a worm on the microblogging service.

The attack, posted online Thursday by researchers at Secure Science is an innocuous proof of concept that forces users to send out a predetermined twitter message, but it could be repurposed into a very nasty worm, said Lance James, chief scientist with Secure Science.

“You can couple an attack with our code and it would just tear the crap out of Twitter,” he said.
