Beware the Twitter porn names scam

The current top trending topic on Twitter is the “pornnamesgame.” It seems silly and harmless enough. You take the name of your first pet and add the name of the street you grew up on or your mother’s maiden name and the resulting name is your “porn name.” For example if your first pet’s name was Spunky and you grew up on Wisteria Lane your “porn name” would be Spunky Wisteria Lane. Funny, right? Actually it’s a phisher’s dream. How so?
