my twitter is sending spam Direct Messages to my followers? - fatcap551 - 04-28-2014 04:31 AM
I went onto twitter as usual today and found all these direct messages sent from my account to all of my followers. Every single one. My friend clicked one and said that it was a link to a weight loss site and while it seemed legit, it definitely was not from me.
I changed my password to a much stronger one and I also deleted access to Twitter from all my other apps (for ipod, ipad, cell phone etc)
what else can I do? I can't seem to find a direct way to ask for help from Twitter Support. It's a very roundabout method.

I know exactly what you are talking about, don't worry about it though because it happens to people and i'm not sure why but it sorta just does. Oh and there is another one which is something like - 'There are nasty rumors going around about you' with this link but DON'T click on it because it's completely fake so i would just delete it and completely ignore it.
Not sure why it happens but it does i wouldn't worry though because most people know that it happens and realize that knowing that the person who apparently 'sent' it didn't. But don't worry! x

1)Change your password
2)Log in, go to settings, apps and then revoke access for all suspect apps.
