Phishing scams are continuing to plague Twitter users, now through the platform’s Direct Message (DM) feature.
As many people know, with the DM feature, users can send direct twitter messages to people, without broadcasting to the entire community. The condition of DM is the DM sender has to be followed by the recipient. Thus, these messages are considered private between two parties, which creates a perception of trust.

The website source code on these pages contain links to the legitimate Twitter domain, but they also contain nefarious links to other unknown domains.
When users enter their login credentials within the illegitimate page, their account information is immediately forged, their followers scanned, and now similar messages are then sent to each follower.
