Turn on the two factor authentication - although this feature will not save your account from being hacked, but it will act like a second layer to keep your account safe. If it means anything, then you will definitely get a link or code attached to it. So that you can be alert immediately.

If you are facing any kind of problems on Twitter, then you can directly report to that account. Here you can also give your reason during the report.

Unfollow and block - If a user is harassing you or keeping a close watch on your tweets, then you unfollow or block them immediately. He will not be able to do this from the front.
