Using Twitter from your mobile? Beware Phish!

by Guy J Kewney | posted on 24 February 2010

Twitter is NOT sending messages to its users, asking "This you?". Sophos, antivirus specialists, today issued a warning - too late, sadly for many.

A demonstration of how the scam works is on the Sophos web site (YouTube video) where Graham Cluley warns:

"Don't give them your password, especially; chances are you use the same password for many Web sites."
