According to the news, Twitter has not provided specific information on how many user passwords were infected due to the internal network fault. However, it has been understood that the problem was going on for a few months and the number of passwords that were infected was not very low.
Reuters reports Twitter's internal source, Twitter has discovered a software error several weeks ago and informed some of its regulators about it.
Twitter reported on their blog that the error was 'hashing'. Note that when a user logs in to Twitter, it is changed to a different number to keep user passwords confidential from its employees. But due to the internal error, hashing was not completed. For this reason, users' passwords were being stored on Twitter in an internal computer's log-in code. Passwords were open to Twitter staff.
Twitter said on their blog, "We are very sorry for what happened."
The social network has advised to turn its two-factor authentication service with changing users' passwords.
