“Make sure that when writing or accessing sensitive information there is no one watching over your shoulder,” advises Sorin Mustaca, data security expert with Avira. “This applies also to surveillance cameras installed in many public places.”
My account was hit by what appears to be a loop in the Twitter system.
I am not sure yet of what has happened, but I am working on it.
Apparently, Google Feedburner or Google Adsense is taking my RSS feed from Twitter and is republishing everything on Twitter.
This is the effect
sorinmustaca Sorin Mustaca
sorinmustaca: sorinmustaca: sorinmustaca: sorinmustaca: sorinmustaca: sorinmustaca… http://goo.gl/fb/gdecu
I have deactivated all services from Google which may interact and I am deleting the strange tweets.
Update:
The problem was solved. The source was Google Adsense which republished the adapted tweets back to Twitter over again.
This is an interview I gave on telephone for Signal Magazine.
“… Internet can be a dangerous activity, but the security status of different types of websites is not the same, Sorin Mustaca, data security expert, says. …
”
I am a little bit unhappy about this, which I never said:
“Mustaca admits that the survey information is more anecdotal than scientific”
What I said was: “the interview was made with a random sample of Avira users”.
But from experience I know that it can be much worse. 
Enjoy.

The source of the article ist the statistics for July, published in the techblog:
“Because of the holiday season, many people started to buy games and spend more time in the social media websites, so the increase in attacking such web sites comes quite naturally,” Sorin Mustaca, manager of international software development at Avira, noted.

Somewhere in the middle of the article:
Apple’s problem is singular. The company has made a big deal about hiding technical details of iOS, allowing only approved Web apps to tie in. This tight control initially made it easier to keep iOS secure. But now Apple may have to share iOS coding with anti-virus firms, says Sorin Mustaca, development manager for anti-virus firm Avira.Windows, Google, Nokia and RIM share such coding to help anti-virus firms develop protections. “Apple does not allow this, making it challenging for anti-virus vendors to create third-party protection for iPhones and iPads,” Mustaca says.
