Their following tweets mention it may have been someone's bad coding when trying to block an address and instead targeting the city name.

"The issue referenced was a result of a bug, and has since been resolved," Twitter told BleepingComputer in a statement. In our tests, if you were affected by the bug, you will need to perform a captcha and verification procedure to gain access to the account again. Once you verify your account, it will welcome you back as a 'human.' This indicates that the bug was likely caused by anti-bot filter that went awry.
