he latest phishing attack is striking Twitter users by sending them messages saying that they're fat.
Well, at least that's how some people will interpret the message that's being sent via DM (direct message) from compromised accounts:
you look like you lost weight in this video.. [LINK]
If you're curious, you might click on the link which will take you to what appears to be the standard Twitter login page.
Don't be scaredLook carefully and closely at the url below-
Hmm.. If your brain is running on autopilot, or if you're simply seeing red at the suggestion from your friend's message that you're fat, then you might enter your Twitter username and password into the login form without thinking (after all, you want to see that video - right?)
And if you do enter your details, you've been phished.
Let's hope that you aren't one of the many people who use the same password on other websites on the net - otherwise cybercriminals might not just be able to send spam from your Twitter account, they may also have just been handed the skeleton keys for other parts of your online existence.
That could mean that scammers can now steal your personal information for financial gain. Nasty.
. Always look at the url before entering your personal details there. Have fun
