How to block the click jacking spam on Twitter

Early this week I wrote about How to block the click jacking spam on Facebook. But Facebook is not the only social media platform which is targeted for such spam, other platforms too bear the heat. Sample this.....


This tweet was posted from my ID and believe me after this people started asking tips on increasing the weight (Thinking of writing a post on this too). So it is important to block such spam on these platforms too. On twitter it is really easy. Just logon to your twitter account and click on your twitter handle on top right corner. Look for settings link and click it.


On the Settings page under Connections tab you can find all the applications to which you’ve allowed the following applications to access your account. Here revoke access to all the application which look shady or which you do not require to keep your twitter cores going.



Once again remember to report the spam to twitter because it is our responsibility to help keeping the twitter sphere free from spam. On twitter you can do so by posting a tweet mentioning the application and other relevant spam details and marking it to @spam.
