(TWitter phISHING) A phishing scam over Twitter. The classic scam induced people to click a link that looked like the Twitter home page. After entering username and password, the site had obtained the user's login data, which not only gave them access to the Twitter page, but to other sites on the Internet (people tend to identify themselves the same on many sites). See Twitter and phishing.
