New Twitter Phishing Scam
Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 6:04AM
Recently a friend of mine received a strange email supposedly via Twitter. The message claimed that someone was spreading negative information about them via a blog linked to Twitter, see the message below,
So if you click on the link here is what you get,
This is a clasic phishing scheme tied to Twitter. You enter your Twitter account User ID and Password and then get your account compromised. Always be wary of a unsolicited email from some you do not know. Verify the links, especially if the go to a URL different from the stated location.
As always if you have any questions, please contact me via comments.
