This Might be a Good Time to Change Your Twitter Password

Maybe it’s not as bad as it first seemed, but it does that some thousands of Twitter passwords have been exposed.  The passwords and linked accounts were posted on Pastebin, a website mainly used by programmers to store source code for a period of time.  At first the number of compromised accounts was 55,000, but Twitter has said that many of those accounts were spam accounts, and estimate the duplicate accounts to be about 20,000.

Twitter has said they set up password resets for all accounts that may have been affected.  However, it may be better to be safe than sorry.  If you want to reset your Twitter password, you can do that through their help center.
