Twitter Phishing Email

We have reported about Facebook Phishing email earlier. Since social media has become part of our lives, other popular social media platforms are not spared as well.

Your Twitter account is one of the prime targets by scammers.

Many Twitter users have linked their accounts to Facebook. Since Facebook allows entries from Twitter to be posted there, having your Twitter account being hacked may cause double the consequence of your Facebook account being fallen to unscrupulous people.

Above is the print-screen of a phishing email from "Twitter". Thanks to GMail's technology, this email has landed into the "Spam" folder. Other email agents may not be able to filter such emails away.

It's not very obvious that this is a fake (phishing) email. The URLs as hyperlinks displayed seems to be point to the correct addresses, however, they are actually pointed to different addresses.

Please avoid being the prey of such evil tactic.
