Twitter BZPharma LOL Phishing Attack

Well it was late and I fell for it. I followed the link and entered my Twitter account information. The result was that everyone within my Twitter network received the same direct message only this time it was from me. :-(

In my defense and thanks to a few Site-Seeker die hard Macaholics (Dan and Carl), I have not once thought about viruses or spam of any sort since switching to a Mac about a year ago. Weak excuse I know.

Enough blah, blah, blah… To correct the problem, login in to Twitter and change your password.

Check out this video for more information.
