    Hi,
    Recently I have been going on my twitter account to find I have mysteriously followed ten strangers over night. I have changed my password twice and can't seem to find any unwanted apps using twitter from my iphone. I don't know what else to do :/

    Hi, you can block them. They won't be able to follow you then.

    Many of these accounts are just bots.

    @Devtard - I think the problem is that his account is doing the following.

    go to this page: hxxps://twitter.com/settings/applications

    and check which apps you have approved access. Revoke access for those you don't trust.

    Here's the beginning of my list.
    Infogr.am - read only - should be ok
    Yahoo - would be stunned if they weren't behaving ethically
    Localist - same
    Vine - same
    Wanelo - should be ok but I no longer use the site so will revoke access

    and so on down your list.

    Oops, apparently I didn't read the first post properly, my bad. (Thanks for tagging me Sarah)
