It blocks twitter O_o

www.twitter.com/omise__go
twitter.com/omise__go

Now that url (which is now dead but still in your list) may well not have had savoury content, but I doubt there is actual phishing going on twitters own webspace. So why is it there?

  1. I visit Twitter all the time and have had no issues.

  2. The above accounts were spreading malicious / phishing content including but not limited to:

  • Fake ICO addresses

  • DMS with surverys in return for free ETH

  • Fake Airdrop News

  • Phishing links to fake OmiseGo website with fake address

  • Phishing links to fake MEW website

You'll catch more bees with honey, honey. If you don't like something, open a PR, don't get snarky or underestimate the scope of the phsihing / scams going on right now.

You're mistaken. Creating a Twitter account that is cloning the branding of an official Twitter handle, posting links to a malicious site to grab users private key, is phishing.

So why is it there?

Because it was phishing users.
