Recently my Twitter account has been taken over and tweets all by itself, a lot of Turkish text.
Its also retweeting other tweets from similar accounts and has added about 250 extra followers / following.
I managed to unassociate it from Facebook, and have changed the password, and deleted all the tweets I could and unfollowed all the offending users.
All was well for about a day - then its all started happening again.
Short of binning the account and starting again, what else can I do to stop this.

Make sure your email account isn't compromised - it will be used to reset your password.
Also check which apps have permission to tweet on your account and remove any you don't know
https://twitter.com/settings/applications
Email account isnt compromised that I am aware of - i can email from it and log into it
Can anyone else?
will need to check that its not linked - ive already unlinked it from Facebook so that it doesnt post anything on my wall from twitter
