Twitter is warning users of a new phishing scam spreading through direct messages on the network, which redirect users to a fake log-in page to steal their passwords.
Through its Spam Watch account, Twitter warned: "We've seen a few phishing attempts today (Wednesday); if you've received a strange (direct message), and it takes you to a Twitter log-in page, don't do it!"
The phishing direct messages take the form of: "hi. this you on here? http://blogger.djh****.com" (Part of the hyperlink removed for security). The site that this hyperlink redirects recipients to is designed to grab your Twitter username and password as soon as they are entered.
