Australian internet provider BigPond has become the latest internet company to be targeted by hackers on Twitter, after one of its accounts was hijacked as part of a phishing scam.

The company, a subsidiary of Sydney-based telecommunications giant Telstra, said that the BigPondTeam Twitter account - which is used to provide information and support to customers - had been infiltrated by unknown criminal and used to trick users into handing over their passwords.

Affected users received a private message from BigPondTeam saying "Hey, look at this," and directing them to follow a link that asked them to enter their Twitter password. The attack was part of an attempt to steal their credentials and potentially gain access to other services they use - such as their bank accounts or email services.
