How can I stop strange Direct Messages being sent from my account? I didn't send them
Direct Messages are being sent from my account, but I haven't sent them. Everyone is getting these from me. They are for all kinds of 'businesses'. But they're spam and I don't like them coming from my account. How can i stop this?
I’m frustrated

CHANGING PASSWORD DOES NOT HELP

Inappropriate?This is happening to my account as well, is there something other than changing my password that will make it stop, Is there a way to notify twitter this is happening?

Inappropriate?I have changed my password and it has not stopped. And, I've been receiving the same sort of thing from various other people. It appears to be a Twitter-wide problem. Is someone doing something about it?

Inappropriate?I'm having the same issue. Password change doesn't help.
I’m wondering when Twitter will step in

Inappropriate?Seems to be okay now after changing password. but now it's mucked up Tweetdeck..so I might have to make a new account. Annoying!

Yes you can try deauthorizing apps in your settings.

Inappropriate?I have this problem. I changed password and eliminated access from other sites to be sure (geofollow, twibes, etc.) -- however, I am not able to send a REAL direct message from my own account.
I’m unsure
