PeterBooker on "Account Hacked!"

Hi ZoeyZo,

I appreciate how frustrating your situation is and am sorry that you feel our plugin is the culprit. Our plugin only has the ability to request public data and does not have permission to write to your account.

The plugin forwards you to the official Twitter website where you login using your username/password, this is something you do normally anyway. At no point do we have, or get access to your username/password.

Once you login to Twitter they forward you back to us with a unique token, which gives your website the ability to request publicly available data from your account. At no point could anything be posted to your account or private information requested.

When creating the Twitter App, which you gave permission to access your account, I was careful to only request the permissions required (publicly available information), so as to avoid the possibility of issues similar to this.

The security of your account and your rights are very important to me, and I have taken great lengths to avoid problems and where possible reduce the chance or potential for issues to occur.

If you have any more concerns of questions about how the plugin interacts with your account I am happy to address them.
