Answer 1

Upgrade your twitter4j library to twitter4j-core-3.0.5.jar. I was facing the same problem and solved it by upgrading the library.

Answer 2

It turns out Twitter from January 14th, 2014 forces API calls to made through SSL, if you use standard HTTP you will get the error you are seeing. This matches the timeframe you mention.

Answer 3

This error seems to be also thrown, when not using SSL for login (as of 14 jan).

See REST API, regarding 403 error code? for possible solution.
