However, if you happen to follow somebody that just gives access to all kinds of developers (without even knowing their software) then, yes he/she will send you DM spam, without even knowing. Therefore, it's a good idea to share these steps with those people so that they stop sending DM spam. Most DM spam happens without the originator knowing.

DM spam comes from people you are following. Deleting connections to malicious sites you've allowed to access your account will stop them from spamming your timeline while pretending to be you, but will not stop the spam that other users send to you via DM. The best defense is to (1) only connect to trusted sites via OAuth, so they never get your username and password, and (2) block everyone who sends you DM spam.

Did you change the password as well? Some malicious developers do keep a database of usernames and passwords, so it is important to change your Twitter login data also. Please let me know, if it works. - Damian Hi Sherzod,
