Facebook and Twitter Phishing going on today!

According to Techcrunch we have one phishing site ground around peoples inboxes on facebook with it say “Check areps.at”.  You go to the site and you will think your at the facebook login but your not.  I wouldn’t suggest going to any of these sites, it has been reported by Phishtank.

Some of the sites to avoid today are : “nutpic.at, bests.at, areps.at, kirgo.at” each site will make you think your at facebook but this is what most will call a Phishing scam.  Some other things to avoid are some Twitter phshing going on today as well.

According to Trend Micro there is one where the url looks like it is a twitter url but isn’t (tvviter[dot]com).  The site is what people would call a typosquatting site.   This makes people think they are on twitter but aren’t.   If you go to these to sites and have given out your passowrd, it is strongly recommended that your reset them:

Facebook password reset page

Twitter password Reset Page

*Some reports I am seeing is some of these sites might be trying to get you to install the Koobface virus so please be careful, will update when I find out more.*
