So here’s the scoop:
The phishers phish more than just banking websites – twitter is vulnerable to this just like any other websites that take login information.
That being the case the phish is simple: You’re sent to a website that looks just like twitter, but isnt.
The site isnt twitter – so don’t give them your password!
Apparently people dont think phishers target twitter (well maybe not after today). Some high profile accounts were hacked today:
Britney Spears, Rick Sanchez from CNN, Fox News, Facebook, Barack Obama and The Huffington Post.
The need for security is everpresent. Please, watch where you’re going.
If you think you’ve been compromised, change your passwords immediately – and that doesn’t mean adding a 1 to the end of it.
I’ll be adding this subject matter to the security 101 talk happening at RefreshSD in San Diego at the Qualcomm campus on the 13th.
