Twitter Woes
Somebody hijacked my Twitter account today, with the usual routine of sending followers direct messages. I seemed to regain control by changing my password a couple of times, but now I've been knocked off because it appears somebody keeps trying to log into my account, trying various passwords, which results in me getting booted off for "too many failed attempts to sign in." I also got a lot of spam DMs today from others that I follow, so it seems to be a bad Twitter day. Hope they figure out a way to get this cleaned up.
Update Nov. 3: Still getting the same message.
Update later on Nov. 3: Twitter sent me a message to reset my account with a new password, which I did. Things seem to be working again, but I can't get logged on with TweetDeck. And if I try more than a couple of times, I get locked out again. Sigh. Perhaps I'll try completely uninstalling TweetDeck and reinstalling it.
