Twitter Account Hacked & Stolen!

Hey Everyone,

Well it finally happened, my twitter account was hacked about a week ago and they changed the pass so now I can’t login to make tweets! I had over 1400 followers on my twitter account and I can kiss all those goodbye.

However I still have a smile on my face and for very good reason, when I found out yesterday that I no longer had access to the account I decided instead of getting all worked up about it that I would just start a new account and build it up like I did my last one.

In just 1 day I already have over 100 followers (the amount most people only dream of), not only that but I have already had people reply to my tweets and send me direct messages!

Over the next 2 days I will be making 2 twitter related posts (possibly video) all about what I am doing to build my twitter following so fast. Its not as hard as some people make it sound and I wager if I do these techniques for the next week or so I should have several hundred followers by then.

My new Twitter Account can be found @shblogger

Follow me and message me on twitter and I will follow you back (no strings attached).

Thanks everyone!

    While I like and enjoy Twitter, I never thought their password security was all that great. Although I don’t tweet much, I still don’t want anyone taking over my account. Might be time to change the password.

    Twitter confirmed Wednesday that a hacker had gotten hold of sensitive company documents, including financial projections and its plans for new offices, by breaking into an employee’s personal e-mail and using information from the account to pilfer files Twitter had stored with Google.thanks.

    It is interesting post. We enjoyed it.

  12. Twitter recently suffered from an XSS virus known as either StalkDaily or Mikeyy. I think it was all because of that.

  13. OHHH SAD…you are so cool you still have smile on your face. As you go followers but it will take time to get back your repu..good luck with new accounts

  14. @@free online roulette: This basically means that should it be an XSS hack, Twitter are not high up there with their security standards. It won’t look good if what seems to be a phishing hack is possible on their site!

  15. @ R4: Still, the incident put Google on the defensive. The information stolen from Twitter was stored in Google Apps, an online package of productivity software that includes e-mail, word processing, spreadsheets, presentations and calendars. Since the beginning of the year, Google has been aggressively seeking to sign up corporate customers for its Web applications.

  16. @@earning money online :It is an absolute scam. Do not participate. There are plenty of stories out on the internet about it being a hoax. The scams begin before you even sign up. If you try to close your browser window when viewing the Google Money Master home page, you are prompted to speak with a ‘Live’ agent. Of course, the agent is not live at all. So, right out of the box, the slime bags running this operation are employing deceitful methods

  17. Canada Immigration@ I am much concern with your point of view.

  19. Home robberies have increased over the years due to status updates. each time you say your going out the house someone sees it, so just be careful what you say on there. anyways good luck with your question.

  27. I’ve scanned my laptop with Avast!, but it didn’t find any viruses or infected files. My MySpace and Twitter accounts have been hacked into, though. I know this because my statuses were updated with offers on how to make more money, which includes a website link.

  33. But the attack on Twitter highlighted a key vulnerability of Google’s system — the security of confidential business information can become dependent on the personal security practices of individual employees. “It is really a human error that caused this problem,” said Jeff Williams, founder of the Open Web Application Security Project.
