Security blogger,JANNE AHLBERG BLOGGED about this new phishing scam "THIS IS A NASTY TRICK ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SENDER IS SOMEONE YOU KNOW AND TRUST ,JUST WARN HIM/HER -THE ACCOUNT IS MOST LIKELY HIJACKED AND CONTROLLED BY THE ATTACKERS"
The webpage resembles a Twitter login page and is trying to obtain your Twitter login credential with a domain name looks very similar to original Twitter.com with two extra "LL" in it ,
To play it safe ,double check your browser address bar to make sure that's where you are on orignal website twitter.com before logging in
If you enter your twitter username and password into this site you will become a victim of and the hackers will then control your account to hack more user via spamming them on your behalf .
What do you do if your account is hacked ?
Change your password immediately ,check what applications you've given access to your account ,Remove access for any suspicious application ,and delete tweets and direct message you sent and you received while your account was compromised
