There are no miracle tools, only smart cybercrooks

An offer for an application that should tell you who is stalking your Twitter profile is circulating on the Internet. As it turns out, the tool is nothing more than an attempt to lure internauts to a phishing site that steals credentials.

Spam Watch alerts all customers to be on the lookout for such phony pieces of software.

“There is no app (or anything else) that can tell you who is "stalking" your Twitter profile; the links lead to a phishing site. Don't click!” reads the alert.

Miracle apps that crack passwords and help you modify accounts are nothing more than masked threats launched by clever cybercrooks. Make sure not to trust any of them as you won't  get anything but a phished account or an infected computer.
