Twitter Phishing Attack in Progress – Do Not Click Unknown Links
June 28th, 2010 Posted in Twitter news, Twitter tips
If you get a direct message on Twitter looking like this:
Lol. this you?? http://divinelink.net/?rid=http://twitter.verify.bzpharma.net/login
Do not click on the link!
The attack appears to be utilizing the SmartName domain parking service, which allows redirects to third-party sites. The DMs appear in the form of a legit URL, followed by something to the effect of ?rid=http://twitter.verify.bzpharma.net/login in the URL. Those URLs redirect to the latter URL, which is a phished site that looks like the Twitter login page.
