Hi Shabaz, At some point you may have inadvertently (or intentionally) given your login and password to a third party application using what we call "basic authentication." You should be able to stop their ability to tweet on your behalf by changing your password. This method of authenticating will be going away very soon, but until then changing your password is the best defense.
