Talk about throwing a major gutter ball! Blackhat is a sure way to getting your site in big trouble. Create good content and be engaged in your audience, the rest will take care of itself.
How many times have you read a story of a successful blogger or site owner say “I wasn’t even trying to build anything big, it just happened”. Unknowingly they were building a ton of whitehat promotion.AverageGals last blog post..Free Blog Keyword Tool

Wouldn’t it be kind of obvious that you were on a scamming website if you clicked on a link for a blog only to be taken to “twitter”?
I think this should appear a little suspect to anyone that uses the net on a constant basis, but I suppose some people may still be sucked in by it.
What’s that old saying? Oh yeah; “if it looks too good to be true…”
Many people do still fall for it.
does anyone know what the scammers were going to do with our top secret twitter accounts? I am trying to think of anything useful other than talking to all of our friends??

I received exactly the same DM. When I clicked on it, Google Chrome, the browser I’m using told me the site was a phishing site. Chrome FTW!

I got several of these DMs. Thankfully, I was confused enough by the fact that the link in the DM took me to the “Twitter log-in” page, that I checked the address bar and realized it wasn’t the real deal. Common sense prevails again!
[...] Twitter Is Stealing Your Password [...]
There is also another direct message that is being sent. If you get a direct message that says “Check out this funny blog about you” don’t click the link. It’s a blogspot page that looks like a twitter or facebook login.
Here is a screen shot from my DM’s to show you. http://tinyurl.com/9ub7rs
I also think that whoever signed in under the phishing site is spreading the link. Twitter took action and reset everyone’s password. So if you can’t log into Twitter you should check your email to see if you received an email from Twitter and reset your password.

to much time on their hands. I wonder if they got Sarah Palin’s Twitter account already! lol Thanks for the info. It would be a good idea for everyone to always have several sets of passwords. Scary what they can access or try to access with one.
