The thing I find fascinating is just how many people immediately jumped to OP being in the wrong. As if Twitter is imbued with some sort of "unhackable" attribute.
This reminds me of the guy who figured out how to post on FB using Zuckerberg's account (or really anyone's account).
History shows us that all software with any complexity has exploits, and it is extremely unlikely that Twitter is the exception the the rule.
- MauranKilom 4y agoBut the priors are stacked against OP. Someone gained tweet access to OP's twitter account and... replied in a mildly profane manner to some random tweet? With zero indication of foul play other than "I didn't do it"? My very best guess that does not involve "OP has their facts wrong" is "someone at Twitter impersonated them, either intentionally or by accident". Still, what's the point? From the outside, despite (or rather because of) the status/reputation they have, I'd put my money on "trick of the mind" or some medical problem. The CO poisoning suggestion is honestly higher on my list than "rogue Twitter employee trying to scare OP".
