Default Twitter and Blogspot Phishing Sites

Don't know if anybody posted this before and not sure if this is the right place to post.

This morning I got direct message from twitter saying something like
Quote:
Hey, i found a website with your pic on it... LOL check it out here
And they give links to pages that resembles twitter and blogger login page, geez they did a good job alright except they can't hide the url.

It's very dangerous to enter ur credential information here, and some people say just by clicking the links we could get hit.

Anybody got these kind of messages?

Oh my God, I got about 8 of them - I fortunately did not click on any of them - but my understanding is that someone hijacked Twitter accounts and is using legitimate accounts to send out weird Twitter phishing DMs.

Did not get that one but I am getting spammer requests to be added. Twitter is doing a good job trying to keep up with them but the spammers are cropping up all over.

Thank God. Never drink and tweet. Bad things can happen.

Yes, Virtualmom, I'm not even sure what these twitterspammers are trying to do but it has been ALL over the Twitterverse and Twitter posted something about it.
