If your Twitter account is tweeting or making posts you have not made your account is compromised. Log into your Twitter account from the twitter.com web pageand change your password.

 If you have granted third-party applications access to your Twitter account, these programs can make Twitter posts on your account. To see what programs have access to your Twitter account open the Twitter connection settings. If you want to prevent these programs from posting on your Twitter page click the Revoke access link.
