“What’s going on” is a very good question. The answer to that question, is that you’ve had a narrow escape from a phish targeting people who desire Twitter verification.

The fake site, located at
twitterverifiy(dot)verifiy(dot)ml
poses as an app to be authorised, but is simply out to steal login credentials. Take note of the rather unique spelling of “verify” in the URL, too.




After hitting the “Authorize app” button, the victim is redirected off to the real Twitter website. At this point, the scammers are free to do what they like with the stolen account.
