Cybercrime: Security and Surveillance in the Information Age
Twitter is sending out a large number of e-mails, asking users to reset their passwords. It appears a large number of passwords got compromised in a recent phishing incident (mine included).
When I received the message at first, I considered the e-mail a phishing attempt in itself. But all the links appeared to be good. If you receive an e-mail like this, I recommend the following procedure:
delete the e-mail
go to twitter by entering the link in your browser. Best:-) https://www.twitter.com
change your password.
do not reuse the password, do not use a simple password scheme (like twitterpassword and facebookpassword)
I know it is hard. A lot of people will advice against writing the password down, or using a password safe application. But considering the risks, I am tend to advice people to rather write down the passwords or use a password safe application compared to using bad / repeating passwords.
