Twitter users: Beware of “Someone said this real bad thing about you in a blog” direct messages

There’s a new phishing scam going around Twitter today. If you get a DM saying “Someone said this real bad thing about you in a blog,” do not click on the link. It will take you to what appears to be the Twitter homepage and ask you to log in… but if you look at the URL, it’s NOT the Twitter home page and it’s not a secure connection. If you type the username and password, hackers will have it. Anytime you log into Twitter, make sure the twitter.com URL appears in the address bar.
