<Rant> Twitter hacked for the 3rd time <Rant>
Peter:
...Netherlands here. No, I didn't do anything. And Numsgil neither most likely.
What's the service/website doing it? What does this say?
Where/how did you retrieve the IP?
Enable 2 factor authentication if you think someone else is logging into the account.
Botsareus:
I am sure it was not you Peter. My end point was indeed a laptop in the woods.
If it keeps up I will probably enable more authorization.
I also posted the Numsgil bit just to be safe for Numsgils sake because that was early on my trace.
Twitter is pretty good at listing ips that have access to my account.
Peter:
Uh, if you're sure someone messed with it. I would take precautions at once. I never had weird stuff like this happening to me, and that's weird as I've messed around plenty, in windows xp using all kinds of warez and no virus or other kind of protection. Did you do anything strange?
Do you have a password which can be guessed?
Botsareus:
Yea, I had a reasonably easy to guess password. I changed it because twitter prompted me to do so.

Have a password with numbers 'mixed into' the word. Whole words are easier to guess by a computer or person than ones with numbers in (E.G. Hello is easier to guess they H3ll0).
Also, 2-factor authentication is good, or just regular password changing (2-factor authentication is better, as it requires both devices to be compromised).
