Protect Yourself From Being Phished On Twitter By Unfollowing Repeat Offenders

There’s another phishing attack on Twitter, and yet again it’s being spread by direct message.

(You can read all the details over at Mashable.)

Here’s what I think you need to do. If you get any of these malicious direct messages, please don’t click on the links, but do make a note of the user(s) that sent them to you. Is that name familiar? Have they fallen foul of these phishing scams before? Several times?

Do they always seem to be affected by these kinds of exploits?

If so, unfollow them.
