    My twitter account is following people all on its own, any ideas? mainly porn and muslin people...
    I've done a password change but still the same?

    Is it something to do with settings..

    Check any applications that have permission to access your account and revoke them.

    I'm on mobile at the moment, so can't confirm - but there should be an Apps sub-heading within the settings page.

    In there will be a list of all applications that have permissions with your account, revoke any and all you don't recognise.

    Are you accessing twitter through phone or computer only?
    If phone, are you using the official twitter app?

    Implement the two step security procedure.

    Also check that the email address that you are using for Twitter is secure.

    In case you didn't find it, this is the link: https://twitter.com/settings/applications

    If you don't recognise any of the applications with access to your account, revoke access. Actually revoke access for anything you don't use there.
