It appears like someone just hacked my twitter account. Not sure how it was done, but they managed to change my associated email to something else, and now I can't login anymore.

Anyways, if you see weird spam coming out of that account, sorry.

@neauoire A few questions:
- Do you remember installing OAuth apps?
- Did you have 2FA enabled?
- Was your phone number one of those factors?
- Did you use a password manager?

@neauoire Pretty strange. Could it be someone phished you? Maybe your password was bruteforced?

Sometimes linking a phone number to an online account actually makes it more likely to get hijacked because of SIM-swapping.

@L1Cafe Yeah, I'm really confused. It's not phishing since it's really changed, if I try to log in, the connected email in the request form is something new and I haven't tried loggin in for a long time.

I've opened a ticket, we'll see what happens.

@neauoire Good luck to you. Social corps tend to not care too much about their users if they have less than half a million followers or so... I've had a good deal of terrible customer support experiences. Or more like non-existing support, not just bad.

@L1Cafe ah well, if it comes to that, maybe it was time I moved on.

@neauoire Who needs Twitter anyway, right? They need you more than you need them 😂
