   Accounts may become compromised if you’ve entrusted your username and password to a malicious third-party, if your Twitter account is vulnerable due to a weak password, if viruses or malware on your computer are collecting passwords, or if you're on a compromised network.
   Unexpected updates don't always mean that your account was hacked. Occasionally, a third-party application can have a bug that causes unexpected behavior. If you see strange behavior, changing your password and/or revoking connections will stop it, as the application will no longer have access to your account. It’s best to take action as soon as possible if updates are appearing in your account that you did not post or approve.
