Twitter Passwords Compromised – Change yours today

I get notifications from many sources and today I received one from Tech Crunch.

1. You should change your Twitter password right now

Yesterday, Twitter revealed that a bug caused the platform to store user passwords in unmasked form. In this instance, it sounds like Twitter stored plain text passwords openly without any hashing on an internal log.

The company says it has “no reason to believe password information ever left Twitter’s system,” but just to be safe, you should go ahead and change that password.
