Last week I wrote about not giving out your password. Did you listen and learn?
I did an experiment to find out. I created a quick little site and sent out 1 tweet about it. The tweet was…
@thinkreferrals have you seen this? http://twitterverified.com/
From that tweet 50 people clicked on the link and of those 50 people 44 of them entered a username and password.
That is right 88% of people shared their twitter username and password with a site that they should not have.
Please take into consideration that your account could be used maliciously if you give someone your password. Your followers would not appreciate you sending out porn, virus or spam to them if your account was compromised.
Do you share your password?
Do these results show a problem with social media users? or do you think all users would have a similar result?
