The follow page describes the latest phishing scam, which cons Facebook users into installing malware and giving away their passwords, sometimes their home addresses.
<http://mashable.com/2010/05/29/facebook-hilarious-video/>

It includes a video from Websense describing the exploit, but partway through viewing the video, I'm suddenly redirected to a Twitter page... In fact, if I just let the Mashable page sit for a minute, it automatically redirects without being asked. I do get the usual alert that I've "requested" (yeah, right!) an encrypted page.

Anyone know what that's about? I can't seem to get back to the Mashable page for more than a second or two without the redirect taking over.

Fortunately, I was able to go back and view the Mashable source code in time and find the URL of the YouTube video, which works fine:
<http://www.youtube.com/v/nO7QzM3BN74>

Here's a link to the Twitter page that steals me away from the Mashable page, for those who dare visit it:

Thanks.
