Phishing has now reached Twitter!! To know more about Phishing, check out what Wikipedia has to say on it.

Allegedly some Twitter users received emails of Direct messages with a content like - “hey! check out this funny blog about you… ” and then provided a link on blogspot domain. That link takes the user to a site resembling Twitter, but actually not. The URL was something similar to - http://twitter.access-logins.com…

So, the moral of the story is not to click on any links in DM like abc.blogspot.com. Check out the URL of any site that opens up, before providing your user credentials. If you feel insecure, you can reset the Twitter Password here
