twitter is alerting Vine users of a bug that exposed their email addresses and, in some cases, phone numbers to third parties. Its also advising affected users to be cautious about any emails from unknown senders as a result. The troupe says the bug was only active for 24 hours before beingness patched, and doesnt believe that the data was misused in any way, at this time.To live clear, twitter was not hacked nor is this considered a data hack instead, the email speech or phone number the company had on file for some Vine users was only available under certain circumstances, the companion says.The troupe declined to officially comment on the specifics of how the bug was discovered or how it may have been seen by third parties, but we realise that this data was not published on the Vine archive website where anyone on the public net could hold seen it. Instead, if anyone was to have seen the data at the time of exposure, they would have had to come so through a more technical means such as using an API to draw the information.Twitter is only alerting users out of a desire to be transparent in disclosing the vulnerability, not because they believe that anyone actually captured the user data or misused it in any way.
