We have received multiple reports that a new, convincing, and dangerous worm and phishing scam is making the rounds on Twitter. Hacked accounts are sending DMs to users and stealing their login information. In fact, one of our own has received one of these direct messages.
If you get this DM, DO NOT VISIT THE LINK. It takes you to a replica of the TwitterTwitterTwitter login page where the hackers will steal your account and use it to send out more infected DMs to your friends.
If you’re one of the unlucky ones to be fooled by this worm, make sure you change your password. Also delete any tweets or DMs that have the link. If you can’t log into your account, reset the password and contact Twitter Support.
