The Following was a boost. Please be aware of this one.
Celeste, AKA DJ Celrock!: Boosting Dwight Silverman (dsilverman): If you’re a legacy verified user on Twitter, beware: A phishing email is playing on the news that original verified users will lose their blue check marks on April 1. I tapped on the “Read verification policy” button, thinking this may be real, and it took me to a Twitter sign-on page that was not on a Twitter URL. Fortunately, It didn’t attempt to place malware on my iPhone, but it could have.
Be careful out there, and please boost.
