Twitter users fall for bogus StalkTrak scam
Twitter users are being warned to be on the lookout for an account hijacking attack called ‘StalkTrak’ that has taken a growing toll of victims on the social media site in the last week.
The attack appears as an apparently legitimate tweet from a Twitter follower followed with the message “I love this NEW App, it shows me who "stalks" my twitter!,” followed by a shortened URL link that launches a Twitter link requesting access to the user’s account.
