  • Twitter; is this a ploy?

    I have Twitter but I dont use it, infact I never have. I think I sent one “tweet” @assouekotto.

    But, every few weeks Twitter send me an email suggesting there has been a “suspicious sign in” detected on my account and I should follow the link in the email and change my password. I did this once, but I keep getting the emails.

    Why? Is this some kind of veiled ploy to get me to at least actually log back in in the hope I’ll start using it? Or do people really keep working out my password?

    I have a dormant twitter account which doesn’t say anything about a suspicious sign in, it may be worth changing your password

    Probably a phishing scam from someone who’s not twitter, to get your twitter password.

    You don’t use it though so jokes on them

    I should follow the link in the email and change my password.

    I reckon a good rule is always to go to the site directly rather than following a link in an email (unless it’s an email you have prompted yourself by clicking ‘forgot password’ or something).

    This.

    I think my Twitter account was hacked once and after that I changed the password to some impossible to remember string of jibberish that the FBI will not guess with or without forcing Apple to give up the keys.
