What's more, the last tweet to contain the original message was sent several hours ago, suggesting that the Twitter team may have since blocked the site's efforts. Still, only the scam's spread has been stopped -- as of now, the links are still scattered throughout the Twitter network. Anyone belatedly clicking them and entering their information would still be compromising their account's security, even if the message isn't being actively retweeted.

The domain twittersblogs.com, for what it's worth, is registered to a "Matt Smith" in New York City, according to DNS records. Neither the phone number nor the address listed appears to be valid. The URL, it's also worth noting, is already being recognized by Google Chrome as a "suspected phishing site."

Fighting the Phishing

Twitter's dealt with plenty of times in the past. It's not alone, either: and are common targets of these tactics, too.

The good news, though, is that is simple: Be wary of where you click, and use extreme caution when giving out your password. If you don't see "twitter.com" in your browser's location bar, odds are, you aren't on the actual Twitter page. Surf back manually to twitter.com before divulging any of your details -- and, in doing so, keep your profile from falling into the wrong hands.
