This morning I received an email from Twitter stated …” Yor Twitter account may have been compromised in a phishing attack that took place off-Twitter…” and ask me to reset my password.

I quickly log on to Twitter and true enough, I can’t enter with my existing password, so I have no choice but to click at the link on the email.  Initially I’m a bit skeptical on all these ask to reset password emails, but in this case, it could be genuine as I really can’t log in.

So I click to reset and get a new password, luckily it is ok now. Otherwise I’ll be crying for losing all my almost touching 2500 followers…

Now I remember that 2 days back I accidentally clicked on a link from a friend’s feed in Facebook that said “I just become a member of this AWESOME site that gets you TONS of followers: http://1kfollowers.net” , I registered on the site and get all this problem.  In fact, after I registered at the site, I was really regretted as the site didn’t really look good, so I quickly changed my Twitter Password, still, is too late.  

But I just wonder how Twitter realize this phising activities, they must be quite efficient.
