BEWARE Of Twitter Phishing DM –“Someone said this real bad thing about you in a blog” Posted by R@hUl | at 9:19 AM

Being in the technology blogging, we come across more such instances than usual when someone sends us malicious links, phishing links, fake login pages etc. Today I got an email notification of a Direct Message in my Twitter account. The interesting thing about this message was that it said something provoking like

“Someone said this real bad thing about you in a blog”

and second thing was it contained a suspicious link which I didn’t click in the email as I had a clue that such emails are usually spam or phishing attacks. Instead what I did was I opened other browser in which I was not logged in to check what the link is about.

As you know, Google + has been released, although it’s still in the testing phase, it has got a lot of attention. So far, the only way to get into Google + is by getting an invitation from someone that is already using Google +, but sadly, spammers have found a way to utilize this to send you spam messages.
