Twitter hakiran, ugroženo 250.000 korisničkih računa

Twitter je pretrpio novi hakerski napad, koji, kako izvori iz te društvene mreže tvrde, nema veze s prestankom rada, koji se noćas dogodio. Ipak, potencijalno je ugroženo preko 250.000 korisničkih računa i Twitter je emailom obavjestio te korisnike da 'postji mogućnost zloupotrebe njihovih podataka', prenosi TechCrunch.

Društvena mreža Twitter priopćila je kako napad nije djelo amatera i da su o njemu obavještene nadležne američke institucije i institucije zemalja za koje se vjeruje da je iz njih organiziran i izvršen hakerski napad. Twitter je korisnike savjetovao da promijene zaporke i učine ih složenijim.

Ovako izgleda email koji su pojedini korisnici dobili od Twittera. Iako nije poslan svim korisnicima, mnogi bi mogli izbjeći neugodnosti, ukoliko se radi mjere opreza, odluče pridržavati smjernica koje je Twitter postavio u emailu.
