Tech a byte

Check out Twitter's redesigned look on its front page. Cool.

Twitter, the popular social networking and micro-blogging service, has currently took over security by cleaning up spam accounts. With this, you may lose followers who are not 'real people' as these accounts are bots that automatically follow Twitter users expectedly used for spamming, phishing and malware-related distribution.

Phishing Scam hits Twitter last week as users received direct messages from friends to open a blog which directed them to a bogus Twitter website, giving away their user name and password once they logged in. Website address may look like this:

http://twitter.access-logins.com/login

Note: Don't try to access above site


Though the hit is not as big compared to Myspace, still users are warned to be careful and be vigilant when encountering suspicious messages or websites.
