WARNING: New Twitter Phishing Scam Spreading via Direct Message

There is a new Twitter phishing scam making the rounds, and this one is spreading quickly via direct message.

The infected message, which seems to be an iteration of a previous phishing scam, simply reads: "Hi, this you on here?" Clicking on the link will take you to a phishing site where scammers can take your personal information and hijack your account.

As always, do not visit the link if you receive this direct message! Never provide your Twitter username and password to any website that seems suspicious in any way. If you've been tricked, make sure to change your Twitter password immediately.
