A new campaign following an old method in the wild, where scammers are luring vulnerable Twitter users and blog/news site owners into sharing their credentials and downloading trojans.

The theme they have taken is the Fake Copyright Warnings, which can trigger panic users to react to their scheme without verifying the claim quickly. Therefore, diligent scanning before reacting to such emails and messages is advised.

Scammers exploiting the general fear of users isn’t new, and they do it always in various means. The latest one comes in the form of a fake copyright infringement warning, which states the target’s tweet has infringing content shared and responded with a feedback form filled with solving the issue.

This verified account is impersonating @TwitterSupport by sending DMs to users, directing them to a phishing website, and asking them to enter their password. I have reported it to Twitter, but in the meantime, be wary if you recieve a DM from this account. pic.twitter.com/fJ19Ua2zry — Shayan Sardarizadeh (@Shayan86) May 11, 2021
