I got it too, also assumed scam email. Didnt look official enough?

But when I tried to login I got told again i'd have to reset my password.

The only one of those apps i also use is comptwetition. I had wondered if it was twitninja, do you use that site?

I got an e-mail from this morning saying 'Twitter believes that your account may have been compromised by a website or service not associated with Twitter.' I thought it was a scam at first and didn't want to click on the link from the e-mail but when I tried to connect to my twitter account it wouldn't let me so it turns out the e-mail was genuine.

I only use twitter for comping, has any one else has this happen? Now I have been able to look at my account I can't actually see anything obviously wrong but there were two apps that I'm not sure about 'tweetmeme' and 'shareaholic' which I'm pretty sure I didn't authorise to use my account? Anyone know anything about them?

The only app I have authorised is 'Competwition'. Are 'tweetmeme' and 'shareaholic' anything to do with 'competwition'?

Any advise would be appreciated! Thought I was starting to get the hang of twitter but now I'm not so sure!
