Here we go again. I guess it's no surprise that phishers, scammers and assorted e-holes would descend on the hodge-podge of humanity that's the fast-growing Twitter. Once upon a time, it was these dregs who slammed the first nail into America Online's coffin. Now they're barraging Twitter with hashtag spam, tweet porn -- and today, a wildfire phishing scam. Mashable reported on it last month and now it has re-emerged with a vengeance.
Warning: If you receive a direct message saying “you’re on this vid” with a link, you may be the target of this scam. The site in question looks just like Twitter but a quick look at the address bar reveals it clearly is not. Simple solution? Don't click on the link.
