NESCO TAC (@NESCO_TAC) is now following you on Twitter, Anyone else get this follower on Twitter?

I'm a tad bit confused about this as I don't follow anyone or any one company that conducts such business. Today, I obtained a new follower on twitter with the handle @NESCO_TAC. I normally check out what types of folks and/or organizations are following me. So far, most of my followers fall in line with my interests on twitter. By the way, I only have like 90 followers on twitter.

However, this one started following me today and I can't figure out why. Also, I'm rarely on twitter. It's the oddest follower I've had yet

I'm wondering if anyone else from ATS who uses twitter had this entity follow them? I've included a link to their website. Go check it out...I don't know what to make of it.

Anyone know what the website is all about, because I'm completely clueless:

Tactical Analysist Center
The National Electric Sector Cybersecurity Organization (NESCO)

I noticed on their website, they have "Become a Tac Volunteer Handler" section.

I'm trying to figure out why anyone would have a twitter account other than to sell something.

looks like one of those companies i've been reading about, that scans social networks for anything
that may resemble a threat to national security, etc....or even go so far as to "predict" any potential criminal
behavior from any users on social networks. just my two cents.

I'm not selling anything on twitter, that's for sure...I have a simple handle and that's all and it's always been for personal use, nothing more.

If they're (NESCO TAC) trying to sell me something, I certainly don't know why I would be of interest to this company. I've certainly shown no interest in their business nor do I know what it's about

It creeps me out BTW

Probably just a bot that amasses followers then someone comes in and buys such username and uses it to promote things.
Happens all the time on Instagram.

I really don't think it's anything to worry about ^_^
Just keep on doing what you're doing and if something crazy happens then let us know!!! : )

If you dig deep enough, you will find that most of your "followers" are robots.

There are hundreds of follower creation bots available, that most people don't realize exist.
