Twitter Resets Password Automatically, Locks Us Out
Posted: 29 Dec 2009 08:23 AM PST
I could not login to Twitter today and found Twitter sent us 4 emails warning us that they had reset our password automatically due to a possible “phishing attack that took place off-Twitter”.
Here is the full text of the email we got 4 times…
Due to concern that your account may have been compromised in a phishing attack that took place off-Twitter, your password was reset. Please create a new password by opening this link in your browser: [Link]. This will reset your password. Remember to choose a strong password that is a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. Do not reuse your old password. As a reminder, you should be extraordinarily suspicious of any third party that offers to artificially inflate your follower count. We do not endorse any of these sites.
Please make sure to:
Scan your computers for viruses / malware, especially if unauthorized tweets continue to be posted in your accounts even after you’ve changed the password.
Check the Connections page at http://twitter.com/account/connections and revoke the access privileges of any third party applications that you do not recognize.
AvoID: [ID filtered]
Remove any updates that you dID: [ID filtered]
You can also visit our help page for hacked or compromised accounts.
Since we were not aware of any phishing atempt, after verifying that it was not spam, or actually a phishing attempt itself, I clicked on the link and reset the password, and while I tried to login with the new password, Twitter locked us out.
Why dID: [ID filtered]
So why dID: [ID filtered]
So it seems they found our earlier password was weak and automatically reset it for our security. So now I created a new very strong password, and really need to thank Twitter for protecting our account. Check if your Twitter password is weak and fix it today. DID: [ID filtered]
