I Got a Tweet from a friend and Firefox says its a bad site? - Jake - 05-28-2014 12:44 AM
So I was checking my email and it said a friend of mine had mentioned me in a tweet. The tweet said: Im lol'n so hard right now at this and then it had a link. I clicked the link and Firefox told me it was a bad site. I went to my friends twitter feed and the tweet that I was"mentioned" in wasn't there! Should I warn him about this?? Did his account get hacked? Did my email get hacked? Any answers are greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Yes warn him, try to run a virus scan, if you have not entered any login details then its fine.

This is a scam to get you to infect your machine by visiting the site. DO NO randomly follow links.
