Twitviewer

- Debut: July 28, 2009
- Built using: Twitter API
- Phishing scam
- Actual Functionality: Re-posts a link to the service using your credentials, may also save your credentials for later use
- Functionality promised but not provided: List of users who recently visited your Twitter profile

TwitViewer is a malicious tool that pretends to show you who the latest people were who viewed your Twitter profile. TwitViewer does not provide this functionality, because Twitter doesn't make this information available. TwitViewer instead steals your Twitter credentials and immediately sends a tweet on your behalf, linking back to TwitViewer. If you've already provided your Twitter credentials to TwitViewer, change your Twitter password immediately.

Used TwitViewer? Updated your Password Immediately

You can update your Twitter password in Settings > Password.
