Bloggers are not journalists in the professional sense of the word. It’s not only a misconception, but judging by how quickly erroneous information can spread, it’s a very dangerous idea. [...] Amateurs can produce high-quality content and, in a particular area of expertise, can provide more depth on a subject. However, we should never kid ourselves that the amateurs have the same level of experience, nor do they support the same level of standards as the professional. Read carefully and watch those banners. You may see a professional logo at the top of the page, but that doesn’t mean the same level of trust can be transferred to the content beneath it. I think it’s time that organizations like CNN and ZDNet change the layout of their amateur sites. It’s too easy to mistake the work of an amateur for that of the professional and trusted journalist.

It seems that twitter is the best place for phishing and scams. Stay out from there.
Just my opinion.

I recieved this same email about 1 week ago now. This is not something that has since gone away. People just need to always be careful with their private information, and they will be fine. When in doubt return to the actual site, such as twitter.com and not their link.

It happened for me to encounter this kind of suspicious messages like 6 months ago but i have to say it never worked for me if i composed a strong password from both numbers and letters. The guy was copying all my data into his computer and in this way he could see whatever i was typing, even if it was an account number or user and password for some game or website and so on.

A good password scheme is hard to find these days. One of the problems is that different sites require different password strengths. Some sites require at least one non-alphanumeric character, others only allow alphanumeric characters. In addition, at times you will want to (or be forced to) change your password.

I've love to find a good solution to this problem. Your linked solution gets us partway there....
