There's a new post on The Panic Button! |  |
| Posted: 09 Nov 2009 07:24 PM PST Well, with all the phishing Spam on Twitter recently, I got rather annoyed. Some visitors of the site kept sending me messages saying “Are you here? *link*”, “Why are you here? *link*” Getting multiple texts throughout the day from Twitter isn’t very fun. I just ignored most of the texts and went on with my business. Then more recently, I got one of these messages from Sam’s account. Thinking that it was more important now, I clicked the link in the message. The first warning I should have noticed, was Firefox’s “Web of Trust” addon spazzing at me. Google Chrome suspected phishing (smart Google, no?) But hey, they message was from Sam, and it had to be safe. Being the idiot I was, I put my Twitter info into it, and not thinking much of it, left for my band concert. When I got back, I checked my Twitter, and it showed that I had sent out 33 messages from when I was gone. After reading Sam’s warning of “Don’t do it!” and Twitter’s spam reporter reported phishing, I knew I had messed up. “Crap.” So, instead of waiting for the problem to be fixed, my impatient self decided that I didn’t want my Twitter to send out more false messages to people. So I deleted it. Poof. It’s gone. But no worries. I made a new one. My new Twitter can be found here or by finding “OmgPablo” on Twitter. So that’s the end of my rant. Don’t click links that look suspicious, don’t get into the old man’s car that says he has candy, yada dah, you’ve all heard it before. Just stay safe. Posted in Funny      |
