Hey All,

I just received a well designed but fake email purporting to be from
twitter.com on behalf of @edreamleo (Edward).

The bit.ly link therein led to a maze of whack-a-mole popup windows
offering me wonderful cure all drugs and other snake oils proffered by
sumptuous buxom blondes. On attempting to close each browser tab/window
there was an operating system-like dialog asking me if I was sure I wanted
to exit the page, sometimes followed and/or preceded by other
obviously-from-the-bad-site modal dialog windows. It didn't matter which
button was pressed in the dialogs, a new window/tab would open afterwards.

I eventually escaped the deluge by slapping [esc] on each dialog, quickly
followed by [ctrl-w] (close window). I followed this up with
[ctrl-shift-del] to clear all cache, cookies, login sessions, etc. for the
previous hour ((Firefox. Chrome, IE would likely need different key
strokes)).

Just figured I should put the word in case some else get's a similar lure
dangled in front of them.
