Twitter announced via its blog today that it has begun using a new method called Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) to help prevent email phishing.

Twitter says it started using the DMARC earlier this month. While the DMARC specification does need support from e-mail services, outfits including AOL, Gmail, Hotmail or Outlook and Yahoo already make use of it. It has also been implemented by services like Facebook, PayPal, Amazon and now Twitter.
If you don't use Gmail or one of the other email providers listed above, you may not be protected. It might be a good time to migrate your email service to one of these for better security or ask your email provider to add DMARC support too.
For instance, if you see an email from support.twitter.com asking you to type in your account info, you should know to delete the email and report it, as Twitter will never ask you for such information.
