Be on the look out for Twitter Phishing scams

 A phishing scam is currently going through twitter attempting to get you to give away your twitter ID. You will see tweets like this with links afters.

 Pictures of Osama Bin Laden (bad link)

 or

 Found you in this funny picture lol.(bad link)

 It will then lead to you a fake twitter log-in site to attempt to grab your twitter log in details. Doing a quick look up on URLVoid only one service detects it as bad. Doing a "Who Is" on the site does not give us much more information. This however does go to show, make sure you check what domain you are entering information onto. You don't want your personal information to end up in the wrong hands. If you have already entered your information make sure you change your password asap on Twitter along with any other site you have used the same password at.
