Don't try to Login in Twitter if it's not Twitter

January 16, 2026

If you click on a message that says something like this...
"you seen what this person is saying about you? and then there's a URL... terrible things"

It comes as a direct message from someone you know who may not know they are sending this message.

Here's what to not do: DO NOT click to see what it is that someone is saying, as it leads you to a false Twitter Login that is collecting your password.
And here's what to do:
Change your Twitter password
Tell the person who sent it, look up their email and let them know they need to change their Twitter password as they have been compromised
Hopefully they aren't using the same password for Twitter that they use for everything else, because they should change all those passwords too.
