Jan McNulty Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Anyone with Twitter accounts should be aware that they could be subject to hacking attacks. The hacked accounts send direct messages to followers that mention bad/nasty rumours and give you a log in page. If this happens, do not open the message. If you are hacked the advice seems to be to change your password, log out and back in again. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna C Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I've had to protect my tweets since over 100 spam accounts "followed" me over the weekend. Annoying because I can now only tweet people who are following me. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Oh no - not something else to look out for! Sorry this has happened to you - something we should all watch for though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I thought it was odd that I gained over 100 followers in a weekend! Annoying because I like to tweet quite a few people who aren't following me, and now I can't. Although a couple of them are probably relieved about that. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna C Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I must say that Tweeting and reading Tweets whilst watching Eurovision made the whole thing infinitely more entertaining! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I hope you were recording the Northern Ballet documentary while you were watching Eurovision on the other side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
