As Twitter removes blue badges for many, phishing targets verified accounts

A new phishing campaign has been targeting verified Twitter accounts, as seen by BleepingComputer. Verified accounts on Twitter refer to those possessing a blue badge with a checkmark. These accounts typically represent notable influencers, prominent celebrities, politicians, journalists, activists, and government and private organizations. The phishing email urges the Twitter user to “update” their details so as to not risk losing their verified status. Twitter’s ongoing takedown of blue badges has ruffled many feathers on Twitterverse as accounts endorsed with the blue badge are often perceived as distinguished, notable, and expected to lead by example.”]
