A lot of Twitter users are getting this direct message: “rofl this you on here?” and a URL.
The scam starts with a DM from someone you follow that says
“rofl this you on here? http://videos.twitter.secure-logins01.com”
The link appears to go to a video sharing page, but instead displays a fake Twitter login page designed to steal the user names and passwords of unsuspecting users. If you enter your username and password there the site sends a direct message to everybody who follows you with that same “rofl this you on here?” message.
It’s a classic phishing scam, and one more reason for users to be cautious about messages that take them to a site where they’re asked to log in or download something, security experts say.
Hacking into Twitter accounts may be an end in itself or part of something bigger. Cybercrooks are also interested in harvesting Twitter login details because many consumers use the same password across multiple sites
Twitter warned users about the attack, stating in a message: “A bit o’ phishing going on—if you get a weird direct message, don’t click on it and certainly don’t give your log-in creds!”
