Change your Twitter password

[WoodiE]

Twitter has announced that they were saving users passwords in an internal log in plain text. While they don't believe anyone has misused the information or other breach but it's still a really good idea to change your Twitter password - as well as any other service that shares the same password.

If you are re-using passwords I'd recommend checking out our Securing your accounts guide.

Hate changing my password! But thanks Mike I'll go do it now.

This would mean I would actually have to have a twitter account

I don't tweet, or farcebook either one, but thanks for the heads up Mike.

Haha, mine might actually contain all that... really not sure as I don't know the vast majority of my passwords.

Odd timing, I changed mine and then my Netflix got hacked.

Ok, I’ll bite. What could someone want with a hacked Netflix account? I pay mine through apple.

Use Netflix for free?!

Use it to gain further access to other sites. Your name, email address and last 4 of your credit card is shown in your netflix account settings.

Yeah they upgraded my plan and changed my password. I got an email saying those had been changed. Netflix took care of me via phone though real quick.
