Although the phishing attack was widely reported on, and Twitter itself wrote about it on its official blog, many users are still falling prey to the attack.

The rule of thumb, as always is: Do not follow suspicious links, and never enter your Twitter credentials if you're not absolutely sure it's safe. If you think your Twitter account may have been compromised, you should change your Twitter password immediately.
