Beware the malware...

Recently there has been malware spam on Twitter again.  You might have rec'd an email from a Twitter friend that states that someone is saying ugly things or starting rumors about you and includes a link. Well, folks it's a Malware site - do not open the link.  The first time I rec'd one of these suspicious emails my security caught it, thankfully, and that was a few months ago.  It looks like it's happening again.  Please do not blame the person that owns the account and block them - the spammers are using their profile and spamming their contacts. If you receive one, log onto your Twitter page (not from the spam email) and send your Twitter friend a direct message to let the person know that you've rec'd one from them so that they can report it to Twitter.  It also helps if they can tweet that this has occured and is not coming directly from them.  We have to have each others backs rather than play the blame game on the internet playground...Max concurs and says it's the same at the dog park when someone is selling pirated doggie treats.  Laugh a little - craft a lot!

Thanks for the warning and your advice is good.  I often read on facebook where someone has unfriended someone without even checking with them.  Silly.

Craft alot, indeed....that's a perfect thing to do on the cold cold day.
