Can you spot what makes the following a Phishing attempt? You may not at first glance....this is a very creative:
The page above that looks like a legitimate Twitter site is
in fact not legitimate at all. I received
a Direct Message on Twitter that had a shortened URL, which redirected to
ltvvitter.com – which at first glance looks like the URL for Twitter and would
probably fools lots of people into coughing up their Twitter credentials. If someone was in a hurry or just not paying
attention, they might easily fall prey to this scam. The message the URL was sent with was meant to
get people to click to find out more; The message said “Hey
someone is posting terrible things about you... “, then
linked to the phishing fake Twitter site.
