That reminds me, a few months ago I had a weird Twitter experience. Someone gained access to my rarely used Twitter account @smartician and started posting spam. Somehow Twitter noticed, reset the password and notified me via email. I have no idea how that was possible.

This sounds like pretty normal automated monitoring for what looks like compromised account behaviour.


It happened me as well, I just shut down the account.


This happened to a friend of mine too, and he even forgot he had a twitter account.
