Following spoof e-mails and IM, users are now being invaded by Twitter spoofing, creating a sense of exploitation and havoc. Phishes and attackers send spoof Twitter e-mails to cookie and the cookie’s URL is driven to malicious websites.

Twitter is enabled to tweets; this facilitates phishes to actively deliver messages to recipients, as the sender of a message can be identified instantly, hence spoofers can be caught. Certain websites mask the user’s phone number while texting.

SMS spoofing works, if the attacker is located outside the USA. “Mobile carriers in the U.S. have their own systems for blocking SMS spoofing and operators have taken some steps to block SMS spoofing on their networks. But, this is generally not the case for international mobile networks" said Biz Stone, the co-founder of Twitter.

The ability to spoof a Twitter message enhances all the normal misdirection schemes that are already in play. The shortened URLs in Twitter messages make it easier to do. Spoofing Twitter can gain access and run monster phone bills from data stored in the Twitter support section. The spoofing Twitter service is a freebie and Twitter with text messaging is charged in accordance with a text messaging plan. When a user is using an international number, the user’s Twitter phone number should be forwarded to the service provider.
