I got a few strange emails this morning from Twitter. I signed up for an account in May 2008, but I hardly ever use it. The first email said someone logged into my account using a new device. It was not me. That was quickly followed by an email that said my password was changed.
You recently changed the password associated with your account @xxxxxx. Based on this change, please be aware that additional changes to your account may be restricted temporarily.
I definitely did not change my password. I used to be able to go into my account via the iOS app, but now I was locked out. How? I did not receive an email on the linked email account. I clicked the “forgot my password” link and was able to change my password again. This time, I did get an email. Very strange. Was my account hacked? Since my account is very old, it was still using an old and likely compromised password. Once in, the person that broke into my account changed the password.
Why? I do not use the account and there are no followers. They will not be able to scam anyone with the account. Since I was logged in, I checked the list of accounts I was following and there were lots of old K-Pop groups and soloists. Most of the groups have disbanded so I ended up unfollowing about two-thirds of the list.
