Help Someone Hacked My Twitter Account

Why oh why can’t people be and let be. Why would someone want to mess with other people’s lives? Maybe someone needs a baseball bat upside the head. (I’m not indorsing this type of action; those are my inner thoughts coming out. If you happen to want to do such a thing I encourage you not to.) There my butt is covered!!

**Disclaimer use at your own risk, if things go from bad to worst then, well your screwed and all I can say is YOGETTHEHELPYOUNEED!!**

 Here are some solutions for you that I have come across I hope they work..

1. Contact Twitter Support through https://support.twitter.com/forms

2. If you have control over your account, change your password and revoke access to applications that you don't trust:  https://twitter.com/settings/applications

3. Change the email address associated with your account:  https://twitter.com/settings

4. What do I do if my account is compromised, hacked, or used outside of my control?

5. Contact @Support through our Support Center at https://support.twitter.com/forms/hacked --

6.      My Account is Compromised/Hacked and I Can't Log In!

7.      How to Connect and Revoke Third Party Applications for more helpful advice.

8.      Log into your Twitter account from the twitter.com web page and change your password.

9.      If your Twitter password does not work click the Forgot password? Link under the username and password login boxes on the Twitter.com web page to have the password sent to your accounts e-mail address.

10.  Check the external applications accessing your account go into your Twitter account's settings and clicking on applications to see the list of apps, such as Facebook or TweetDeck, that are being allowed access to your account. "Identify the applications you don't recognize or are not comfortable allowing access," adds Hill, "and click 'Revoke Access.'" Then try resetting your Twitter password again.

11.  Tweet at individual Twitter staff members you know or who might be receptive to your problem.

12.  Delete all cookies on your PC.

13.  If you opened a bad link Follow these steps: 

·        Go to Settings from the menu in the upper right corner of Twitter

·        Click Apps and then Revoke access on any Application you don’t recognize

·        Change your password just to be on the safe side.

·        Delete any unwanted sent tweets.

      14. Start taking screenshots of your account ASAP.
            You want to document that you were the original owner of this account.
            Take some screenshots of your tweets that will help you document your case to send in to  Twitter.

      15. If you still have some access through a third-party app, send some tweets to document         your case.If you have access through Hootsuite try and send some tweets. Try also using other apps like Tweet Old Post  and Facebook to send tweets out. Warn others that you account has been hacked and ask them to notify Twitter..  

16. Log out the app on your mobile, change password on your website account, and log in back with new credentials.

17. Go to https://twitter.com/settings/applications and look through the list of applications. These are the sites or programs that you’ve authorized to use your account. Starting to look familiar? Your best approach is to click the Revoke Access button on any application you aren’t actively using.

18. Try This Link https://support.twitter.com//entries/31796-my-account-is-compromised-hacked#

19. Click the “forget password” link on the login page. This will send you a password reset

21. Delete the sent direct messages.

Prevent Future Hacks

·        Do not log into websites with your Twitter username or password

·        When visiting other sites create a new account

·        Avoid clicking on any strange links that come to you within either your Twitter feed or Direct Messages on Twitter. "Think before you click!

·        Change your password regularly and make sure it is a strong password involving multiple types of characters like r7#

·        Make sure you are on Twitter's actual site before logging on. A website can be made to look like Twitter so check the URL to be sure that it says: https://twitter.com.

·        Add your mobile number to your account

·        Twitter has a page, "Keeping your account secure," that explains preventive measures in detail.

·        Keep your computer and operating systems updated with the most recent security patches and anti-virus software.

·        Ignore suspicious twits like Direct from @Mary-12Knabben: OMG they said he died...Did he? http://t.co?BQ7zv-Z6" (it just may be a hacker)

·        Do not open ANY LINKS  (((EVER)))

·        Remove all apps

·        Long passwords using Caps, numbers, abbreviations like #..

·        Be careful with those DM’s don’t open any unless you know them 

If the DM is from some one you know contact them first, ask them if they sent you a DM.

It seems to me that the best thing to do is go to setting > Apps> delete all unknown apps..

I hope this helps you guys..

Why Can't I Change My Twitter Profile Picture?!

Well OK I've finally solved this headache!! I few days ago I signed up to Twitter with my new blog, the blog that your reading "YoGetTheHelpYouNeed". Before Sharing how I fixed my issue, I gotta say that the help that we the people received  from twitter was...was, well SAD!! How can the developers of twitter screw something up that pretty much should be basic for computer programmers to build. Facebook must be laughing themselves all the way to the bank. I feel for all of those who have been posting with that dreaded egg!! I've been extremely anxious to get my twitter account out there, but was held back because I didn't want to come across as a spammer.. Well a professional spammer at least.. So without further hesitation this is what I came across..

**Disclaimer use these solutions at your own risk, if things go from bad to worse, then all I can say is....YoGetTheHelpYouNeed!!!**

1.Update your internet browser.

2. Re-sized the Picture to 567x700 or something close to it. Crop it into a square.

3. Upload a different Browser like Firefox or Safari

4. Try using your PC or laptop not your smartphone.
 
5. While you are on your PC go to your profile > then click profile settings > press on the "change profile picture" icon > choose browse your PC > pick a picture > then click save..

**The above answer deserves a..get the help you need response..A duh..**

6.Twitter may be overwhelmed with users so try later..

7.

• Check your file type. Twitter supports JPEG, GIF, and PNG file formats. 
• They do not support animated GIFs. All existing animated GIF images will be left as they are, but no new ones can be uploaded. 
• All profile pictures with nudity will be removed, no nude pics guys and girls keep them in your bra's 
• Make sure your file is the correct size. Your picture must be no more than 700k. 
• Make sure you click Save changes at the bottom of your Settings page. Your image won't save until you click that.

8. Change the size of your picture

9. Too many characters in The location (max 30).

10. A low internet connection might be the problem.

11. Try using a lower resolution and quality picture.

12. Create a new account with another email and it'll work.


13. Upload a picture and wait a few days for it to restore. (This requires patience, lol)

14.

•  Log out of  Twitter on your smartphone and PC go to www.befunky.com  
•  Crop and resize your pic. You may have to log-out of twitter and/or wait awhile as well..

**I'm Iffy on this one never like telling people to go to other sites, your call, maybe downoad an app**

15. Settings > downloaded archive setting just above the "save it" sent a email then clicked on link bingo now changed my avatar picture.

**I have no idea what this person was trying to say but I used it just in case it helps someone**

•   Do not delete your original photo (or egg), instead click on "Choose File".  

•  A pop-up will open up and allow u to browse and pick a photo... so pick one and click OK. 

•  Now click and change ANY tiny detail in one of the text field boxes (like "Name", "Location", "Website", etc.) and change it (this is only temporary).

•  For me, doing this suddenly made my "Save Changes" button become active and work! :-) So I then clicked "Save Changes" and waited.

•  It may take a while, but "Your Changes Have Been Saved" should show up.

• . Now click on "View Profile" and check to make sure your pic is indeed uploaded ok.

• If your pic is ok, then go back into EDIT mode and change the text you changed back to its correct text, and then click "Save Changes".

•  Now check your profile again - everything should be ok, and your new profile photo should be displaying.

• - I suspect there may be a glitch that for some of us, does not let just the photo ALONE to update, and therefore doing 2 changes allows it to update correctly. **What?**

17. Uninstalling The Twitter App Then Reinstalling It.

18. Twitter help center

19. Twitter support

Well Those are the ones that I came across and I really hope these work for you.. Oh by the way I resolved my problem by simply installing Firefox as my web browser, and like a boss it worked first kick at the can.

so there you have it!
