When I first made my Twitter account I didn't have much knowledge about it. Soon after I had some girl calling me out for being a garbage, so I replied that I already know that but how that can be connected to her. She pointed me to some miserable tweet which my account sent without my knowledge.
I was not aware that this was happening at all, because it was in Replies tab which I was not using and that tab was hidden under the another, a main one.

The interesting thing was that not only that girl, but most of my contacts also sent an exactly the same bananas reply to me, so I sent her an inbox telling her that we have something in common.
She obviously though it was something else I was talking about, so she blocked me.

Apparently somebody thought it would be so funny to send fruity messages by hacking Twitter somehow. Everybody already saw that message, well, I was the last to know, still I took some time and apologize to all who received that message from me just because I was careless and noticed it too late.

Most of my contacts responded that I don't need to apologize and that they are busy cleaning their own feeds. That girl never apologized to nobody, didn't even took time to realize what really happened.

Have you ever experience anything similar?
I saw that somebody already posted about the Facebook accounts which are more or less semi private so if you get hacked family and friends will see in 5 minutes that something is wrong because they know you, but the Twitter is public and mostly driven by marketers or supporters of the current events or celebrity fans.
What to do if you have this mess at hands and it includes 4000+ replies?
It's a fruit store!

I don't know about hacking but I remember once there was a bug in twitter, so whenever I opened twitter it opened with someone's account logged in, it happened for like a month, its about 5-6 years ago I think or maybe even more, but I didn't abuse it in anyway. But it was funny.

Yup, at that time they had it going, it was a thing, hehe. Well, all of my contacts was too busy deleting that message and one of them I think replied to me 'aw, shut up.... deleting this $%&# myself' and most of them just replied it is okay, because they all got the same.

That was funny, but the stuff I had on Facebook were even better.

And what was that?

I think I remember that time, but my account wasn't hacked. I received the email from Twitter to change my password and that was that. I am not very active on Twitter now, but before when I write articles for different websites, I used it a lot!

And what was that?

In some prior time I had a lots of acquaintances added to my Facebook, their teen kids also added me. Well, one of those kids was exceptionally talented so she decided to make fun of somebody in my Friend's list.

She had no problem to mimic me, fool that person into believing that she is me using an extra fake account and made a proposal... so when I logged in the next day I had something to see, well my inbox was literary devastated.

Well, when a shaitz hit a fan and I blabbed myself out completely unaware who that was and of the damage that could be done - I hurried up to notify my pal's daughter that she should temporary disable her account because she could lose it over this. She had too many pictures directly stored in it, videos, writings, everything...

I understood a joke, because it's a kid, I was even helping her with a homework over the Facebook... but that fooled person exploded like a nuclear bomb but couldn't locate that account any more.

That person in a certain extend refused to believe that it was not me, but some spoiled 15 year old brat, so I am still getting all kind of the messages. The worst thing and probably the most tragic one ? It has been 6+ years..

And I thought I am obsessed....

Anyway, check your kids, if for nothing else, then just to protect them from themselves.

I used to have a Twitter program that would post my Tweets automatically for me every so many hours.

After never having any good results, I just monitor Twitter and don't bother to send Tweets any more.

There are a lots of programs that can do it, but the thing is to tag your content and monitor what kind of the 'commercial' gives the best click through rate. Audience plays a big role, there are too many bots on Twitter.
