There is a phishing attempt on Twitter which is spreading via Direct Messages. It tries to get your usernames and passwords using a Direct Message saying “You’re on Here?” or “someone posted on their blog about you” and these messages are followed by a link. Once you click on the links, it might direct you to another page, which may ask you for your login credentials. If you enter your credentials, your account may be compromised.
Do not click on such links or Enter your login credentials.
Twitter had recently created http://twt.tl as a URL Shortener to protect users from malicious sites. So if the link appears to be a potentially harmful one as per twitter, it can be re-routed to a warning page. Even though twitter does it, it is better to be careful NOT to click on suspicious links and save your accounts from being compromised!
