Twitter - What's Happening?

I'll tell you what's happened.

Gizmodo found that you can force anyone you want to follow you on Twitter due to a hole in social networking site.

Here's the deal, if it ever says you are following more than 1 person, you have been hacked, so keep an eye on your followers.

This hole has caused widespread panic over the social networking site.

It now looks like Twitter has filled in this hole now, however it will say that you have 0 followers.

If you were previously following anyone on Twitter you will still get their tweets sent to you.

Twitter's status blog -

'We identified and resolved a bug that permitted a user to “force” other users to follow them. We’re now working to rollback all abuse of the bug that took place. Follower/following numbers are currently at 0; we’re aware and this too should shortly be resolved.'
