How To De-Authorize All Of Those Twitter Apps You Forgot About

Hundreds of Twitter accounts were hacked with a swastika through a third party app, which means it&;s probably time to check on your Twitter apps.

Earlier this morning, hackers took over hundreds of Twitter accounts and posted a message in Turkish that included swastikas and a “NaziHolland” hashtag. BBC North America, Reuters Japan, Nike Spain, and Duke University&;s Twitter accounts were some of the targets.
