As we learn more about the Denial of Service Attacks that took down Twitter and other social media sites earlier today, yet another wave of spam is invading the microblogging service. Thousands of tweets are currently being spread around the network pointing to a website promoting a dubious money making scheme: ThursdayProfit.org.

It appears that this is the exact same scam as yesterday, where links to the same style of site with a different domain name flooded Twitter. This is at least the third time this week that this scam has surfaced, though at the moment, it remains unclear if it’s the result of a compromised third-party app, a phishing scam, or perhaps related to today’s DDoS attacks.

Speaking of today’s DDoS attacks, the latest news is that they may have indeed been related to the Russia-Georgia conflict, with CNET reporting that a single pro-Georgian blogger and his identities across social media sites may have been the target of today’s attacks. Who might be responsible for them, however, remains a mystery for the moment.
