Hacked Twitter Accounts Tweets about weight-loss

"There are over 200 of these weight loss Tweets about at the moment, which when clicked, direct the user to a weight loss website. No Twitter user is immune to receiving these Tweets and at present nobody is sure how they have occurred.

One suggestion is that a third-party app may have been installed but it’s really too early to say. Have you or anybody you know received these weight loss Tweets yet, and how do you think they can be stopped?" Via


- This is not good. Can we trust third-part Twitter services?

How can we know if it safe to use a service based on the Twitter API?

Is OATH enough?
