{ Emergent Noise }

Update 00:30 Oct 29 2009 : I reported the website to Phishtank and the website should now be blocked on all modern browsers. Tested on Safari 4 and Firefox 3.5. Move along now, nothing to see.

This is just a quick post to warn people that Twitter messages are being used for phishing people's Twitter passwords.

I recieved a "Direct Message" on Twitter from @AccessDNA that went as follows : 

"hi. this you on here? http://blogger.djhxkcs.com " (Warning! Do not enter details on the linked page)


Of course, out of curiosity I visited the link , and waiting for me was a page that looked exactly like Twitter's Sign in page – except that it was posting the information to a different address , and would thus send any details I entered to some database. In time, I would expect my Twitter account to be usurped.

Watch out for suspicious messages and pay attention to the address, secure-connection icons and such, people.
