If your Twitter account got hacked because you followed a link to an IQ quiz and used your Twitter login info without checking to see that you were actually at Twitter.com, then YES, my IQ is higher than yours.

SO true. How about when they spam-DM you over and over, not realizing that if they just changed their damn passwords, they would not be annoying everyone? I’ve actually had to unfollow sales leads of mine that were just too compromised to tolerate.
What is the etiquette surrounding this? Must I inform everyone that gets hacked that such is the case? That would be very time consuming. As you hint at above, if you click on a link like that, you should just KNOW you’ve been hacked. Too bad it doesn’t work like that.
I tell the people I know well. If you don’t ever look at your sent DMs it can go on for days or even weeks before you notice. But yeah, telling every single person would be a bit much. Can’t save everyone. Lifeboat ethics.
