Twitter: DM and E-mail Filters Added

Notice a lot of random crazy DM messages this year on Twitter providing a link to go to? Hopefully you didn’t click the link because these DM’s are phishing DM’s sending you to very bad links. A couple of these DM’s follow the lines of:

Is this u in this vid? [bad link here]

This you??? [bad link here]

24/female and horny [bad link here]

Twitter has FINALLY implemented a filtering system that filters DM’s and e-mail notifications for harmful/phishing links, rejects them and sends the legitimate DM’s/notifications through. You may notice new Short URL’s, twt.tl too!

Hopefully this will put an end to those annoying DM’s and Twitter can be a slightly safer place.
