Twitter’s security-related account @safety recently posted the following message: “If you’ve received a message promising you a new ipad, not only is there no ipad, but also your friends have been hacked.” Twitter also said it will be “sending out password resets to hacked individuals.”
The scam is also present on Facebook but it has affected a relatively small number of users.
The message “offering” the free iPad is similar to this one: “u have to check out this website its glitchin right now and sending out ipads to everyone for free!”



The messages usually contains a link, sending you to a website that tries to extract personal information from unsuspecting users. If messages similar to the one above have been sent from your account, you should change the password immediately. Furthermore, you should not follow the link in such messages, and you should not give away your personal information if you’re not absolutely sure why and who you’re giving it to.
