Locked out of Twitter!? - Kaylah P - 11-18-2012 01:06 PM
Okay, one of the people I'm following on twitter posted a link saying something about this website that gets you more followers. So i went to the website (by the way heres the link - http://www.bestfollowers.com ). So when i got to the website, I logged into my twitter account, yada yada. And then when I went back to my twitter, I saw auto updates in my timeline!! So i went back to the bestfollowers website, and I optouted' my account - meaning I closed it. But then I kept seeing MORE auto updates!!
So today when I tried to logg into twitter on my ipod touch {twitterfon} it says wrong password. So i tried to use my password but it wouldn't work... so then I figured, how about I try it on the computer. So I tried it, but it said "Locked out of account due to too many failed login attempts." I don't understand because I changed my password to something that I would remember - due to the auto updates coming from Best Followers. Help!!! [if you can].

congradulations. your shit just got hacked. the password has been changed by that best followers site, and now your never going to get it back because they are in your stuff and now its fucked.
you could try emailing twitter themselves (they always have contact info on those pages somewhere) and explain what happend and see if THEY can get it back
never give out social networking passwords on other sites, its a great way to get your stuff completely hacked.
