If you have an account on Twitter, the company is asking you to consider changing your password. A bug – which the company says has now been fixed, and wasn’t misused – prompted the company to issue this advisory.
The company says due to the bug, passwords were written to an internal log before completing the hashing process. Twitter says they spotted the bug themselves (presumably before anyone else did) and fixed everything.
In order for this bug not to happen again, the company is implementing plans to prevent it from re-occurrence. So go straight to your account>>Settings and change your password before hijackers take it away from you.
Good one from Twitter notifying us of a bug. Unlike some others that sell our info to advertisers without our knowledge
By telling us to change our passwords that’s mean the bug really affected them and their system has been hacked. Nice info prof.
Aside the bug, i think its advisable changing passwords to our accounts occassionally
There shouldn’t be any reason for us to change our passwords if truly the bug has been fixed.
For safety reasons… change it
Going to change it right away.
I got the prompt to change it but I ignored. I’ll go back now
I have forgotten the last time I log into Twitter
Am not a fan of twitter anyway
OK prof, thanks for the info…..
Thanks am changing it right now
They dont want stories that touch like that of facebook.
I was notified too……
What is the implication of not effecting the change…?? Maybe I should just delete the account gabadaya
Hope they are certain it has been fixed. Tnx for the heads up
Being a white hat hacker will definitely be rewarding in this world of technological advancements.
Done. Thank you
Hmmm. If it was Facebook I would do that asap. But for Twitter, God’s time is the best
Hmmmm. Will change my own when i subscribe my phone.
Thanks for the info SIR YOMI
Thanks alot for the info,I will change it rightaway
Thanks for the update.
