Twitter advises all Twitter users to change their password.
Twitter exposed all user passwords via a bug that stored passwords in plain text — without protecting them with any sort of encryption technology that would mask a Twitter user’s true password.
A letter to all Twitter users posted by Twitter CTO Parag Agrawal
Twitter advises:
-Change your password on Twitter and on any other service where you may have used the same password.
-Use a strong password that you don’t reuse on other websites.
-Enable login verification, also known as two-factor authentication. This is the single best action you can take to increase your account security.
-Use a password manager to make sure you’re using strong, unique passwords everywhere.
