UPDATE: BNO News has replied to this suggestion with a statement:
The author suggests that BNO News is connected with "StalkDaily", only because he does not know BNO News. In fact, BNO News runs a popular news service on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/BreakingNews) with more than 170,000 members and the service is run by journalists from several countries. BNO News is a fairly new company which will soon provide news wire services for media organizations.
In any event, Twitter has plugged the security hole that allowed the problem in the first place, so the world of Twitter is once again safe from the forces of evil. At least until the next exploit is discovered.
UPDATE: It seems another, similar worm, tagged "mikeyy" is now making the rounds. This might be the same attack that 'anonymous' referred to in the comments. Basically best practice right now is to avoid going to profile pages in a web browser, until the Twitter devs get this hole patched for good. If you really must hit a profile page, disable javascript first.
