A Little Used

The Twitter account I made back in University for participation marks got hacked and has apparently been used to follow random spam, porn and Arabic accounts. I reaccessed my account and unfollowed everything out of spite. Apparently it was first accessed in Vietnam about a month ago, then left untouched until a couple weeks ago, then it's been to Russia, Argentina, Georgia, Thailand and tons more. IT'S BEEN AROUND. Anyway the only reason I saw it was hacked at all was because someone sent me a video uploaded to Twitter and it tried to auto log me in.


So yeah, either check in on your stuff more than once every few years or just delete it because apparently this happens. Also if Twitter tells you it's locked your account, it lies. It apparently "locked" my account 3 times on three different days. Also if it detects a suspicious sign-in, apparently it doesn't actually do anything to protect your account. Just...fair warning.

EDIT - So after going through all that I try to watch the video for reals. "Not available in your country"

I'm done with the internet tonight.
