Twitter Money Scam Hacks Your Account

We are seeing these words too much on Twitter at the moment – I’ve been hacked!

Be warned – The Twitter make money fast scam hacks your account

This scam or variations on the same theme is still going around Twitter, its been floating around for at least a month now so its spreading viciously.

How I made $$$ working from home

Working from home leads to shocking money results

How I got rich on Twitter

These appear in your DM (Direct messages) from friends, so you think that they are real – and after you click them to see what it is, it starts sending out DM’s to all of your friends, and before you know it people are telling you, that you got them hacked too.  Followers are likely to unfollow and blame you for this.

I must say that is so easy to get sucked into clicking these things, as they are from friends and we’d all like to make a fast buck, but there is one thing to remember, if it was legit would your friend DM  you a link about it, or would he just tell you.

Its the same old story – we’ve seen it before recently in the Is this blog about you scam  and Is this your in this photo and Someone said a bad thing about you – all designed to trick you into clicking the link.

You do see other similar blogs floating around twitter about making money from home which aren’t hacking into your account but they are still scams.  One has been around for years, the article that looks like a newspaper report about how this woman makes £££ from doing hardly anything.  These sort of get rich quick schemes, usually require you to either pay money up front and/or to scam other people into doing so.

So.. the rule is here – Be very careful what you click in your DM’s  if you are unsure about it but think oh that looks interesting, send a message to the person and ask, did you just send me this message.  9 times out of 10 they will say OH NO I’ve been hacked.

To fix this – Change your password – and tell your friends not to click any DM’s from you.

Hope this helps

 

After the 50 Days of Lulz ended – Anonymous promise surprising release.

Hackers Lutz Security announced their final release at the weekend, after 50 days of disruption for various corporations and governments and even Joe blogs on occasion.

Their final day of tweets on the 26th of June were these….

Lulz statement “50 days of Lulz”  inform us that it was a planned 50 days of uninterrupted, chaotic thrill of entertainment and anarchy.  And that they believe that they have brought back the AntiSec movement that started in 1999, which they truly believe in.

The Anti Security Movement

(also written as antisec and anti-sec) is a movement opposed to the computer security industry. It attempts to censor the publication of information relating to but not limited to: software vulnerabilities, exploits, exploitation techniques,hacking tools, attacking public outlets and distribution points of that information. Movement followers have cited websites such asSecurityFocus, Securiteam, PacketStormSecurity, and milw0rm to be targets of their cause, as well as mailing lists like “full-disclosure”, “vuln-dev”, “vendor-sec” and Bugtraq, as well as public forums and IRC channels.

During lulz  last days they released documents stolen from the Arizona Department of Public Safety and files that contain internal data from AOL and a variety of user details and private information from various websites.

Don’t think its time to breathe easy, as much as it seemed that you could, as one tweet from LulzSec informs AntiSec enthursiasts to join Annoymous; who yesterday aparently released  files containing documents with FBI addresses and links to security and hacking resources on the internet, including hacking tools.  Anonymous on Twitter yesterday also promised more torrent releases today with some surprises! So its not all over.

Six days ago anonymous realised this video explaining about operation anti sec
