Twitter Can be Tricked Into Showing Misleading Embedded Links

A long standing Twitter issue allows bad actors to manipulate tweets so that they appear to contain content from one site, but link to a completely different one. This enables creating tweets that look like legitimate articles from well-respected sites, but actually link to pages serving phishing, malware, or scams.
