"Hey check out this video! http://tinyurl.com/xyz,"; says an old friend by Google Talk IM. Well sure, you think, I'd love to see a video from you - it's been a long time! Maybe you got an IM like that this afternoon, too. Maybe you got six.

There's nothing wrong with clicking on such a link, but when the site that loads as a result, Viddyho.com, asks for your Google Talk username and password in order to view the video - then you should know that trouble is afoot. Surprisingly, a whole lot of tech savvy people fell for it today. Update: The Harvard Crimson says it has unearthed the person responsible for the Viddyho worm.
