That is true, my email could be compromised.
But: my browser - which I use to access my email - is locked down to the point that a normal user probably wouldn't find it much fun, between umatrix and adblock plus there isn't a whole lot of javascript that runs before I authorize it.
Agreed that it is possible. But still unlikely.
Also, I'm not sure how you can say "there is _no way_" your account password was compromised. Can you know for certain that you haven't ever executed code which couldn't potentially be malicious or have security issues? Hell, if you use a web browser there's a non-zero chance that some website you visited was compromised to serve you some javascript which exploits a zero-day in whatever browser you use. You can say that's unlikely, but there's a lot of possible scenarios like that, and you're worryingly willing to just dismiss them all and say there's _no way_ this could be anything other than a vulnerability on Twitter's side.
