Am I gonna get HACKED?
Okay so u know twitter, right?

Its a foolish thing to do yes, but i really wanted lots of followers. So i go on this weird cheapo site, and it said that it needed my username and my password for me to get MORE followers. so i did. (I know I know...) it then says that this site will automatically follow others so I could get a better chance to gain twitter folllowers. the only exception was for the site to be allowed to post "Free iphone" tweets on my twitter.

So after a couple of weeks, i get suspended by twitter for "aggresivly following" techinically it wasnt me but it was the site. Stil tho, could this site hack into my personal things?????????

What's the point of Twitter anyway? Those people need to get a life.

That website stole your account information and used it to follow hundreds of people.

If you share the same password with Twitter, as your email..... your email account could get hacked.

Change *ALL* your passwords.

And Stop using sites like those! They only get you intro trouble!

I completely agree with Alan D. Don't do those web sites. When you do you're just asking for trouble.

Like Alan said, don't use those sites. Sounds to me like you had your details stolen. Sites you can trust don't ask for your password for another site.

And if you want to know if they are safe before you use them, add WOT to your browser and then google the main site name (like their home page) before going there. E.g. if you have a site danger.twitterthief.com/nab.htm you would take the twitterthief.com part of it and google it. Then WOT will show you what the site rating is. Red = danger.
You can also use WOT ratings by going to their site and also Site Advisor users' comments are good to look at.
