Recently I've been having issues with my Twitter account. It was sending out messages to my followers, like "Hi" among other things. I was tearing my hair out because I wasn't composing or sending them. I changed my settings, disabled my phone etc., and then I decided to Google "problems with Twitter" and finally found an answer. Someone had hijacked my account for Spam purposes. I found it strange that instead of normally going to my Twitter homepage it kept asking me to sign in. That's were the son(s) of a gun got my password and then the "fun" began. I apologize to my followers who were on the receiving end of this crap, I didn't send out "Hi" three days in a row, some people must have thought I was a nutter. The one consolation is that apparently it happened to Barack Obama too, so at least I'm in good company! It's simple enough to fix, I just had to change my password. For the next little while I'll be keeping a close eye on my direct messages to make sure no more garbage is generated. It has been a very frustrating couple of days. Isn't technology wonderful?
