The Twitter barn door has been aggressively and forcefully shut – it is so pathetic that it happens to have slammed shut on a lot of people during the process.
It was confirmed by Twitter that besides an ongoing compromise of internal systems that was malfunctioning, it took preliminary steps of looking fetching out all the users that had changed or even made attempts to change their password in the last 30 days. It is so unfortunate for that untold number of users, it’s not exactly clear when or if they are going to have access to their accounts again.
“Out of an abundance of caution, and as part of our incident response yesterday to protect people’s security, we took the step to lock any accounts that had attempted to change the account’s password during the past 30 days,” read a Thursday afternoon statement from Twitter’s support account.
A Twitter spokesman declined to provide a number of how many accounts have been affected, however, it is likely a lot, though. In contribution to that, all the people usually change their password over monthly, a least some percentage of Twitter’s over 300 million users likely took the absolutely reasonable precaution to change their password.
“We have no evidence that attackers accessed passwords. Currently, we don’t believe resetting your password is necessary” – This was a tweet from Twitter Support, in addition to preventing verified accounts from tweeting for hours, felt the need to completely freeze a huge number of other accounts.
