Warning! There's a Twitter phish-fest going on at the moment. Hopefully you'll read this before you become an ill-fated Twit...!
If you receive a DM that looks something like this:
Do not use the link!hi. this you on here? http://blogger.djh****.com
It will redirect you to a copycat Twitter log-in page, and then forward you to a fake fail whale -- and then later, when you least expect it, your account will have its avatar replaced with a naked girl that seems to be enjoying a deliciously unsymbolic and in-your-face penis. You will then, unwittingly, tell your friends all about fantastic dating websites that you've had a lot of success with recently. I think you'll all agree that's a fate even worse than a celebrity not responding to your well-thought-out and poignant tweet.
