New phising attempts via Twitter DM
A new wave of phishing attempts makes its way through the direct messages (DM) system on Twitter.
You might receive a DM from one of the people you follow that could look like this:
Username: haha, that u on here? http://videos.ds*****w.com/
Clicking the link will take you to a page that for the untrained eye looks exactly like the Twitter login page. DO NOT enter your username & password. It’s not a Twitter API or anything. You’d just be giving away your authentication data.
Also, don’t be quick to judge the one sending you the DM as a spammer and report him/her. He might only be the victim of one such attack.
