A new attack on Twitter users has been arriving as spam with a phishing link. It appears as a notification about an unread message from Twitter Support with a subject line such as “Twit 73-923.” The ending number can vary. The body of the message includes “You have [some number of] delayed message(s) from Twitter” and a link to a phishing site.

If you receive one of these emails, make sure to check where the link points to before clicking on it. To visit a page such as this (or any page even), it’s much safer to manually type the web address instead of clicking a link in an email. Links can easily be faked!

Users without protection who click on any of these links could infect their PCs or reveal their Twitter credentials.
We recommend you take advantage of either or both of McAfee’s TrustedSource™ reputation system and SiteAdvisor Technology to protect yourself against malicious phishing attacks and the sites that host them.


Tweet, search and surf safely out there!

I started receiving these about a week ago; good to see that you’re now addressing the issue.
Funny thing is, I don’t have a Twitter account. I’m also immune to Facebook scams, as well (I don’t have one of those, neither).
