Not sure how but, someone had got in my twitter account an posted a bunch of junk about surverys an wanted to remove themQuote

- Change Password immediately so that they cant post any more.
- Change your security account recovery settings so that they cant use pet name, or other security questions to bypass your new password and be able to GET back in again.
- Go in and manually delete the posts that they posted.

And that should be the end of the problem unless your password is too easy to crack or a keylogger or packet sniffer is sending information back to a hacker. 99% of the time the problem is solved by following the above routine.

99% of the accounts out there get hacked when people do the following:
- Use the same password or similar passwords among all things that they log into. ( For example if you registered with a website to play a free online game etc and their password database is not secured or they are a ROGUE identity, and they have your e-mail address you used during the registration confirmation process, and they too may have asked for mothers maiden name, pet names, friends names, places you grew up or went to school, favorite color, and all the other security setting options. Similar passwords being " YourPassword1 , YourPassword2 "), in whicha hacker could test "YourPassword3" with your e-Mail address against all sorts of other online accounts such as banks, stores, facebook, twitter, MYSPACE, and anywhere else they want to test it against to try to get in, and if its YourPassword3 for any of them, they are in!
*Its always best Never to use Maiden Names for any security reset options online which can be used in the wrong hands to open loans out against your name etc whenever this can be avoided.
*Also its best to use false birth dates on online REGISTRATIONS where they dont need to really know your birthday, but its a requirement of registration, "and where it is not illegal to post false information".

- Strong passwords should always be used even though there is debate whether there is still a such thing as a strong password. ( Never use 123456, password, Password, names and words from dictionaries, curse words) Its best to use phrases or sentence portions that are not common to make it easy to remember for yourself and give a password cracker a password that isnt easy to brute force attack and crack.

The strongest I could think of for "The sky was dark and the air was cool." as a 12 character password is " T5wd4taWcB7$ "( substituting the S for 5, a for 4, 8 for B, and making the second w to a W) But when you have a password like this, it may make you want to keep it written on a sheet of paper near your computer until memorized, and then if say someone who has access to your computer finds it and they want to logon as you, they are in...LOL

Unless you are a direct target of a hacker or group of hackers they are going to move on to much easier targets even if you used a password similar to Tswdatawc87$ these are older post from october so I doubt they are still login but, I want rid of themContact Twitter...I had and I also figured out how to delete them
