Short post about a pet peeve of mine.
Many folks on Twitter have recently posted "Sorry - was hacked - all ok now" or similar.
Truth is this - they were NOT hacked.
They gave their details away, voluntarily, to a phishing scam. This is quite different to having someone hack your ID and password unaided - or indeed deliberately breach the security of the hosting service.
When you give your details away, however inadvertantly, you have been phished.
If you click on a link within Twitter that then requires your ID and password to "log in" again the chances are high that it's a dodgy link. Think before you type.
