I think Twitter asked everyone to change passwords because of a vulnerability end of last year. Don't remember the exact time But I remember changing passwords of all my important Twitter accounts. Now if Admin is sure that phone No. is not his than that is something to think about. But basic questions you need to ask your self is,

Aha .... then that explains the security probes.

Why Does Phone number is different  (if the owner is sure its not his) ? So someone must have changed it.

Why email verification doesn't show ? Someone has used that phone No. to verify the account.

Why u haven't received notifications since end of the last year ? Same person might have change the email...

I don't think the account was hacked, as it looks OK, so only thing I can think is that someone forgot they had that phone number.  The account was started in the days before TweetDeck when it wasn't possible for the owner to add users, so every one shared in the same login and password.  Making it into a regional thing too.  

I'm no expert of Google App Mail, but closest I could get are the MX records I made a print screen off that showed up when I did a troubleshoot track of [email protected] - which is the twitter mail account that works with accounts.  



I then discovered those records belong to Google App.  Possibly when a user ticks phone in the settings then the mail works with Google App and expects Google App MX records at its destination - which there were not so possibly Twitter notifications have been bounced back.

So my theory is that Twitter - probably during that security scare - made some changes that included for phones to work with Google Apps mail.  This means that they deal different with mail by phone than mail through browser - and quite a number of users must have been caught up in it too. I'm almost certain we're not the only ones caught this way.  When I checked cpanel Forum, there were discussions by WHM owners who were trying to get the best of the two worlds with their mail by dealing with an external exchange - i.e. Google apps, as well as having mail on the server - which is quite an art - like cpanel acrobatics.  

Anyway, the lesson for me out of this is that when one has a Twitter account, to be careful about the preference for phone or desktop as looks as though Twitter is dealing different with the two.

I've put support requests to Twitter in a number of places.  They say it takes a week or more to receive a reply - so not sure whether they'll be able to help.  

I'm stuck to bed with lots of antibiotics because of a leg problem so having hard time doing posts these days. Its now I miss having a Laptop. haha

Hope it gets fixed soon!
