Twitter Virus Twalert!

Not sure if that’s a real Twitter word (Twalert) or not but here’s the scoop.

It’s not a real virus but it is a real Phishing Scam.

It comes as a DM or Direct Message to you. I have received 10 in the last couple of hours.

The message might say something like,

“hey! check out this funny blog about you… ” or

“fixed it.. hehe here is that blog i wanted to show you ” or

“hey look at this funny blog ” with a live link attached.

The page that loads might even look like the Twitter Login Page:

That address isn’t owned by Twitter. Far from it.

Here’s the WhoIs (if even this info is to believed):

Registrant: http://twitterblogs.access-logins.com
Organization   : zhang xiaohu
Name           : zhang xiaohu
Address        : changningzhonghuainanlu192hao
City           : changning
Province/State : Hunan
Country        : CN
Postal Code    : 421500

I did a search for our new friend Zhang and I don’t think it’s the same one I found on LinkedIn .

And just in case you were wondering about the real Twitter…

Registrant: http://twitter.com

Twitter, Inc.
164 South Park
San Francisco, California 94107
United States

Quite a difference, wouldn’t you say? Be careful out there!
