WARNING: TwitViewer May Be a Phishing Scam

Want to know who visits your Twitter profile? Sounds potentially interesting, and it’s the premise of TwitViewer.net, a site that is being shared by thousands of Twitter users this afternoon with the message “Want to know whos stalking you on Twitter?”

Unfortunately, it appears that TwitViewer may be a phishing scam, or at the least, is probably not doing what it promises. Upon entering your credentials, it does show you a list of users that supposedly visited your profile – but it seems likely this is simply fake, as a dummy account we created just to test the app showed 200 recent visitors seconds after registering. The app also automatically tweets out the “want to know whos stalking you?” message (and yes, the message itself is spelled wrong).
