Twitter recently experienced a security breach where a bug in their system exposed passwords in plain text instead of hashing them securely.
Twitter downplayed the severity of the breach, claiming that only a small number of passwords were affected and that there was no evidence of misuse of the exposed information.
Users whose passwords were exposed in the breach are at risk of having their accounts compromised by malicious actors who may use the passwords to gain unauthorized access to their accounts.
Twitter claims that they were aware of the vulnerability before the breach occurred and had already implemented measures to address it. However, the breach still occurred due to a failure in their systems.
Twitter has stated that they are enhancing their security measures to prevent similar breaches in the future. They are also advising users to enable two-factor authentication and to regularly update their passwords.
Yes, other social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram have also experienced security breaches in the past where user data was exposed. It is a common issue in the digital age due to the increasing sophistication of cyber attacks.
