Twitter fixes a bug that put personal data at risk

Nothing has been mentioned about the need to change the password, it seems that something more needs to be done, apart from updating to the new version of the app on Android.

Security breach

Due to this security flaw on Twitter, someone with malicious intent could access or even control account information. The social network has no evidence that malicious code has been inserted or that this vulnerability has been exploited so far. But they make this decision as a precautionary measure.

Users have received an email, reporting the problem, apologizing as well. At least we see that the social network has been fast and they have opted for a direct route when communicating with users.

It is a significant change, especially with respect to other social networks such as Facebook. This bug affects only the Android version of Twitter, it is not something that affects iOS users. We will see if something else finally happens and if the social network has to send any more notice.
