Twitter in new security scare
Telegraph — Twitter has been targeted by cybercriminals in a new scam aimed at stealing users’ logins and passwords for the micro-blogging service. An unknown number of Twitter users received a message, or ‘tweet’, from a service called TwitViewer, which purported to provide a list of people who had recently viewed your profile.
The tweets contained a link to the TwitViewer.net website, where visitors where then prompted to enter their Twitter login details.
“If you gave your login and password info to TwitViewer, we strongly suggest you change your password now,” advised Twitter.
It’s the latest in a series of attempts by cybercriminals to take advantage of Twitter’s growing popularity. Hackers and spammers are using popular Twitter tools, such as web address shorteners, to redirect unsuspecting users to websites that contain malicious software, says McAfee, the computer security experts.
