Twitter hacked, up to 250,000 accounts compromised
As Twitter's stored passwords are encrypted there's little chance that the hackers could reveal the actual plain text password, but as a "precautionary security measure" Twitter has reset the passwords and revoked session tokens for all affected accounts.
Twitter managed to discover the attack while it was in to process of accessing unauthorized data, which meant they could shut it down before any more data was accessed.
Twitter is working with law enforcement agencies to try and find the people responsible for the recent attack, while also telling people to disable Java on their computers.
