Hi, XXX

Twitter believes that your account may have been compromised by a website or service not associated with Twitter. We’ve reset your password to prevent others from accessing your account.

You’ll need to create a new password for your Twitter account. You can select a new password at this link:

XXXXX

As always, you can also request a new password from our password-resend page: https://twitter.com/account/resend_password

Please don’t reuse your old password and be sure to choose a strong password (such as one with a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols).

In general, be sure to:

• Always check that your browser’s address bar is on ahttps://twitter.com website before entering your password. Phishing sites often look just like Twitter, so check the URL before entering your login information!
• Avoid using websites or services that promise to get you lots of followers. These sites have been known to send spam updates and damage user accounts.
• Review your approved connections on your Applications page athttps://twitter.com/settings/applications. If you see any applications that you don’t recognize, click the Revoke Access button.
