tl;dr: OP was hacked but refuse to believe they were compromised by traditional means.
- jacquesm 5y agoThat is possible, but I have absolutely zero evidence for that at this point. I would either think someone successfully managed to social engineer Twitter into making an unauthorized change or that there is some other avenue besides the regular interface that allowed access to my account (so not protected by my password or session).
- Kiro 5y agoI see now that you are very prolific on HN, even being #2 on the Leaders list: https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders So I guess your suspicions that there's more than meets the eye have more merit than if it would be a random poster. However, my initial reaction was still "what makes this different than any other hack?".
- jacquesm 5y agoNothing, that much is clear. But - and this worries me at a different level - if getting blocked from Twitter is this easy maybe I should not be putting time into it at all. But it's very convenient to keep contact with a large number of people with very diverse interests.
- mdoms 5y agoI think it's far more likely that OP drunk-posted or simply forgot about making the tweet. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31240589 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31240589
