This is entirely speculation on my part, but maybe this is some insight into how many spam accounts there are on Twitter.

I am fairly worried by the security policy at Twitter.

For example, I have a friend who had his Twitter account hacked. As an experiment, he deactivated the account, but did not change the password. Whoever had the password logged into the hacked account and reactivated it. When he received the email of the reactivation, there was no "If you did not initiate this, click here" option.
