Phishing Attack Hits Twitter…Again

Security firm Sophos says another phishing attack has hit Twitter. This makes the second time this week that Twitter users have been hit with phishing attacks. The attack earlier this week resulted in a spread of herbal Viagra spam.


Messages asking "This you????" followed by a link are being sent via the system to unsuspecting users. If you click on the link you are taken to a fake Twitter login page, where hackers are just waiting for you to hand over your credentials. In fact, they can automatically post the phishing message from your account as soon as you hand over your details.
