Don't become Twitter phishing bait
We continue to see Twitter users being targeted by criminal campaigns designed to phish passwords for the site. The problem is that often they are disguised as direct messages (DMs in Twitter parlance) from your online friends.
The latest attack comes in the form of a DM from one of your Twitter acquaintances: "when did you make this video? its hilarious, cant stop laughing lol [LINK]"
It's the sort of message that many Twitter users may feel very tempted to click on. After all, it's come directly from one of your Twitter buddies, and if it's really a video of you that's hilarious you probably want to see it for yourself.
