Phishing Scam on Twitter! Oh Noes!

I read about this at this guy’s blog post which was twittered by Felicia Day.

The long and short of it is that if you get a direct message on twitter from someone, one of your friends… whoever, saying to check out this blog post about you, and then it sends you to the twitter login page. Guess what page you’re not really at? Yeah, so if you log in there, it’ll really log you in, but it’ll also send your credentials off to China somewhere. Then you’ll be sorry! So don’t do it. kthxbai.

Oh, and go to that guy’s blog for links to screen shots and actual messages, etc. I’m just giving the readers digest version.
