Inside a bubble ◦°˚ヽ☻ノ˚°◦
Credit rating firm Equifax has mistakenly directed some customers to an imposter website via its Twitter page, security researchers say.

The firm recently disclosed a data breach affecting more than 143 million people, and set up a new website to share information with customers.

But it mistakenly tweeted the wrong web address several times, leading some customers to a fake website.

One security researcher told the BBC it was a "massive faux-pas".

Equifax are certainly taking a beating right now.
Not sure if i've managed to post this properly, it doesn't look right so apologies for that.
