Twitter users are currently being hit by a phishing attack. If you use Twitter and received a direct message that says “This you????” followed by a link, DO NOT CLICK THAT link. The link leads you to another website where you are asked to login using Twitter. Instead of logging into a website where there is Twitter support, you are actually e-mailing your user name and password to the website owner. Change your password immediately if you have fallen for the trick. [Sophos via Mashable]
