> For now I am assuming either someone social engineered Twitter to change my password or a compromise of Twitter of some sort.

How could you not notice your password being changed? I would think twitter would invalidate existing logins after a password change forcing you to log back in using the "new" password an your devices. Then again, I never used twitter.



Because that's the only thing that I can think of that makes sense.

Whether or not I can still log in I do not know because, as I wrote, I'm blocked from using Twitter, the only thing I keep getting now is a page where they want my phone number.


You could use twitter without a phone number before this point?

They asked me for it a long time ago, I never gave it to them luckily as they proceeded to leak that information to everyone. I've wrote off the platform ever since.


Yes, I have never given them my phone number.

I noticed that a horrifying number of services don't inform the old email address that an account's email was changed. I trust very few services to keep me fully informed about my accounts these days.
