Do You Know Who Has Access To Your Twitter Account? Check Your Application Settings
When was the last time you checked your Twitter application settings? I bet it’s been a while. It’s not a bad idea to take a look at who you’ve given permission to, as these applications may be able to read, write and even access your direct messages.
Every third-party app you access through Twitter must ask for your permission before they can sync up with your account. However, once you’ve given that permission, it’s easy for apps to silently read your tweets, tweet from your account, and even access your direct messages.
Now, most apps you’ve given permission to are likely not malicious, nor will they do anything to your account that they aren’t meant to.
