More than 32 million twitter passwords have been leaked lately. Twitter is saying it's not happening on their end and their system is secure. They think what happened is that malware (evil little programs that sneak into your computer) infiltrated computers and stole them off of user's computers. If you're a Twitter user, I recommend changing your password. This might be a good time to scan your computer for spyware, adware, and malware also. I recommend a program called Spybot which does a good job of that.

I think I read that Twitter was supposed to notify the people whose accounts were compromised. But who knows? Anything is possible.

I hadn't heard that part but I changed my password just in case.

@Lolaze I have to do that. I have so many things to do, not time enough for everything.

I did create an account on Twitter but I decided it wasn't for me. I never really used Twitter. Spybot is a good program I did have it on my laptop it saved my computer from malwares. Good thing I saved myself from having Twitter account problems.
