Twitter today urged users to change their passwords, which were unintentionally 'unmasked' internally by a software bug.
The social media site said it found no sign that hackers accessed the exposed data, but advised users to change their passwords to be safe.
'We recently found a bug that stored passwords unmasked in an internal log. We fixed the bug and have no indication of a breach or misuse by anyone. As a precaution, consider changing your password on all services where youve used this password,' Twitter said. -- Agencies
