Twitter Advice
Due to concern that your account may have been compromised in a phishing attack that took place off-Twitter, your password was reset.
Please make sure to:
- Scan your computers for viruses / malware, especially if unauthorized tweets continue to be posted in your accounts even after you’ve changed the password.
- Check the Connections page at http://twitter.com/account/connections and revoke the access privileges of any third party applications that you do not recognize.
- Avoid providing your username and/or e-mail and password to untrusted third-party sites.
Remove any updates that you did not post personally.
There is also a specific help page here.
