IMPORTANT. Twitter “Porn Names” scam. Don’t share yours.

The hashtag meme requests that users type in their “Twitter Porn Name” which is a combination of your first pet and the street your grew up on OR your mothers maiden name. All three of these are perfect candidates for security questions on most online accounts – don’t get involved.

If you have revealed any of these, change your questions immediately.
