While I hesitantly agree that it could be a case of unfortunate timing I think my data being extracted is unlikely to be caused by anything else than this plugin. I'm not quick to jump the gun and throw blame around I spent a good deal of time retracing my steps and checking how in the world this could have happened. My logic is as follows: 1. My Twitter account never had a problem before my installation of the plugin. 2. After I installed the plugin my account was taken over on the same day. 3. My mac is virus and trojan free and if it (or my browsers) did have some sort of malware on it surely other accounts of mine would be compromised too not just Twitter. 4. I don't have Twitter installed on my mobile so didn't connect to Twitter from anywhere else except my usual home network connection and from the computer I always do.
Again I am not saying this plugin is malware. Just that it is not secure.
What do you mean by 'support request'? Do you mean on Twitter? Because I have sent them a support request and tried to reinstate my account but due to a glaring hole in Twitter's reactivation procedure I can't, because to reactivate you must use the e-mail address associated with your account, which for some unfathomable reason they allowed the hacker (bot) to change within Twitter without even sending me an e-mail to make sure I wanted to change my address. Their response is "sign up and make a new account". Fuming.
