Twitter users! Be warned that you could be the target of a latest phishing campaign that tries to persuade all you micro-bloggers into revealing your login details. Security researchers at Sophos warn that messages are being circulated that point Twitter users towards a website called tvviter.com (with two 'v's rather than a 'w'). (I wouldn't recommend you visit)  People who make the mistake of clicking on the link will be taken to a bogus (cloned) website which is pretending to be Twitter.

It hopes to fool people into handing over their username and password,” Sophos said on one of its official blogs, which it reckons could lead ultimately to some painful identity fraud, as well as an account being used for the purposes of spam or spreading malware.

Editor's Note: There's those ever present "username and passwords" causing problems again. And yet another cloned website. When Twitter's gets serious about TwitPay I hope these whispers are heard as shouts and they use a secure 2FA (not username and password).
