This morning I received an email that my dad had joined twitter. It wasn’t from him, but the usual notification and I assumed it was him based on the username. I followed back and sent a direct over as well. Then nothing … though not that unexpected given my dad was probably trying to figure out what to even do with twitter.
I checked back this evening and see that the name and handle have changed though the twitter URL is the same. I checked with my dad and he can no longer login. It appears his account has been hacked … My guess is this will eventually be a spammer account, though who knows. I’m still the only person they are following.
I have no idea how this has happened or what can be done, but am putting it out there in case someone else has any clues.
Same thing happened to me today. Emailed Twitter support. Still awaiting response 🙁
I am waiting as well … hopefully there is a reasonable solution!
I had a user follow me, that was only following me. Normally I like the attention, but you've got me worried. the user is http://twitter.com/judiedloo.
I am telling you the truth. That was the final hit that i took. For so long i am trying to resist the temptation of having a twitter αcount but now ill make one. Correct me if i am wrong but the worst that can happen to me is changing my mobile number right?
