Security researchers are warning of a new phishing campaign that is being conducted through Twitter. The attack appears to be a direct message from a Twitter user’s “followers” or friends. The message offers a link to another site, usually accompanied by a come-on. When victims click on the link, they are taken to a site that “poses to be the regular Twitter login page, but is actually stealing usernames and passwords” The attackers then use the information to fool other Twitter users as well.”]
