.:Twitter Jacked:.

Ever have your Twitter jacked before because you allowed access to a app, game, program to get more followers, or countless other apps that ask you to allow them? I know i have, and i’m sure some of you may even have. If you have like I have then you know it’s not nice. It’s annoying as hell, and pisses off all your followers with massive spam directing more people to the hi-jacking site. Well I’m about to explain how to stop this in this blog. About a month or so ago I was surfing for some apps/tools/games to add to my Twitter since I’m a whore, and love Twitter, and I came across this RPG game. Little did I know all hell was about to break loose. So I add the app and it asks me to allow/deny it, so what do I do? Of course I allowed it, thinking it was going to be a cool game. It in fact was a spam bot that jacked my Twitter and started spamming the shit out of my followers every so often. So my boy Oink follows me, and he saw that it was spamming me to hell, and found a way to get rid of it. It’s pretty simple but not many people know how, so they just let the program spam their account to shit. Check the diagram below for more help on how to get rid of these programs IF IN FACT YOU ALLOWED ONE. (sometimes this won’t work and you’ll need to change your password) All you do to get rid of this crappy spammer is simple… Go to your twitter.com page, go to “SETTINGS” then go to “CONNECTIONS”. Inside “CONNECTIONS” you shouldn’t have anything there.(Unless you’re like me and have your twitter connected to your Myspace/Facebook) If you have programs connected then hit “REVOKE ACCESS” on all the programs that you have there, and you should be good to go now. Like I said tho. Some of these programs you MIGHT need to change your password. If your account spams and you have NOTHING in connections, then your best bet is to change your password. Check the diagram below to get a hands on of what I’m talking about. I hope this helps you out. Enjoy!
