Got this from (allegedly) Twitter

So right off the bat I can tell for sure that it ain't me trying to log on to that shite, but it doesn't leave me much choice either now does it?

Is the email from twitter.com?

Man I thought I added that information, I intended to, obviously.

But either case, I'm not taking any chances. I'd never click a mail link regardless, I'd go straight to the address in another browser session to examine what's going on.

My solid guess right now is actual hacker attempt, because they've been trying to log in every 6 hours or so for a day or two. I use solid passwords for everything, so hopedy hope. Not that I know what the fuck they'd use my twitter account for.
