how to stop direct messaging people on twitter?

[dancer4ever15]

So today when I logged into twitter, I realized I sent direct messages to my followers. They say something like "someone is making up awful things about you." obviously it wasn't me purposely sending them to my followers. is it possible to stop sending these in the future? and if so, how? sorry I just started twitter a couple days ago

that happens to a lot of people its just a spam thing and your followers are probably used to getting that from random people anyway so they know you're not doing it on purpose. it means you were probably hacked. change your password and you should be fine xx
