Heads up Twitterati!
Twitter has introduced a "feature" where there is a checkbox in your settings that has to be manually checked by you in order to prevent strangers from resetting your password without your email address or phone number. If people can reset your password, they don't need to figure out what it is to hack your twitter account.
This happened to me! Fortunately I am pretty active on the site and saw the warnings before I sent out more than one tweet this weekend. Hint: raspberry ketones for weight loss? Not my deal.
If you tweet, go sign into your account and check the box right away!
