Beware of Twitter Account Phishing Scam

You may have received an e-mail like this:

It says, "Attention! We detected that someone was trying to steal your Twitter account password. We strongly recomended you to download our secure module to protect account! Please click on the link below:"

Seems legit, right? I mean it came from Twitter and has a Twitter.com link so it's all good! A little amateur investigating quickly proves that not to be the case.

Clicking "show details" reveals a different "reply to" address and simply hovering the mouse over the link displays a completely different, non-Twitter related domain.

Do not attempt to click the link in the e-mail as it will only result in your account being stolen. Ironic, since this e-mail is supposed to be warning you that someone is trying to steal your Twitter account. At least that part of the e-mail is the truth.
