Wired News & Twitter

January 9th, 2009

I’ve read an entry in the livejournal webdev community today – a link to a great blog post on Wired News about “the battle of the browsers”. Following the link I got onto the Wierd News Blogs website, and with a timeout of about 5 seconds I received a javascript popup message asking for my Twitter username and password. This looks like scam. Why the heck would a PR9 news resource do this?
