Scam through DMs over Twitter

Twitter is once again the subject under highlight but this time on a different note: apparently there’s a scam spreading over the micro-blogging service. Direct Messages AKA DMs are sent to Twitter accounts with a URL consisting of a site on blogspot.com, where the text reads something like so:

hey! check out this funny blog about you…

The URL redirects you to a similar page as Twitter’s login, and steals your login information, as well as sends the same scam-message to your Twitter list. The scam is under the URL of: twitter.access-logins.com, so beware, you have been warned!
