Twitter

March 4th, 2010

Phishing attacks have been happening often, so take care that you don’t click on certain links.

The trouble is that these links may be from friends on Twitter; someĀ of the messages have said things like “This you????”

If you click on a phishing link, you’ll be prompted to log in again. It will appear to be Twitter, but if you look closely at the URL, you will see it is not Twitter.

If you’ve clicked on one of these links, change your Twitter password immediately. If you need more information, check out the Twitter Blog.
