Late last week, a password leak smasher Twitter, and the companionship locked millions of user accounts as a result. It was reported that the login credentials of more than 32 million twitter users were compromised. According to LeakedSource, which indexes hacked credentials from data hackes, the credentials are being traded on the dark web for about 10 bitcoin a pop or a little under $6,000. LeakedSource goes on to tone that passwords are stored as plain text files, and many seem to be attached to Russian users. That detail indicates that the passwords were stolen from users, as opposed to through a cut into Twitters central systems. In response to the leak, twitter quickly initiated forced resets for many of its users.More Information: http://www.pymnts.com/news/security-and-risk/2016/twitter-account-lockou...
