Twitter has confirmed that up to a quarter of a million user accounts may have been compromised following a security breach by "sophisticated" hackers.

In a post made to Twitter's official blog
on Friday, the social networking firm explained the steps it would be taking to safeguard users following an incident in which it shut down a live attack on the company's servers.

"This week, we detected unusual access patterns that led to us identifying unauthorized access attempts to Twitter user data," said Bob Lord, Twitter's director of information security. "We discovered one live attack and were able to shut it down in process moments later.

"However, our investigation has thus far indicated that the attackers may have had access to limited user information - usernames, email addresses, session tokens and encrypted/salted versions of passwords - for approximately 250,000 users.

Twitter users whose accounts may have been compromised will automatically be logged out and receive notification that they need to create a new password.

"As a precautionary security measure, we have reset passwords and revoked session tokens for these accounts," Lord continued. "If your account was one of them, you will have recently received (or will shortly) an email from us at the address associated with your Twitter account notifying you that you will need to create a new password.

"Your old password will not work when you try to log in to Twitter."

Lord encouraged Twitter users to follow "good password hygiene" - both on the site and across the internet, and encouraged users who did not have strong passwords to reset their information.

Citing similar attacks on the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, he also suggested that users should follow US Department of Homeland Security advice and disable Java on their computers.

"This attack was not the work of amateurs, and we do not believe it was an isolated incident. The attackers were extremely sophisticated, and we believe other companies and organizations have also been recently similarly attacked," Lord added.

"For that reason we felt that it was important to publicize this attack while we still gather information, and we are helping government and federal law enforcement in their effort to find and prosecute these attackers to make the Internet safer for all users."

Thank you Mr. Sung Jong Yi for the information. I was not notified by the tweeter company. Does this mean my account is ok?

위에 나온 트위트 Logo 를 보니 Dove 비누가 생각이 나네요.  차이점은 Dove 비누는 날개가 크게 1 개로 표현을 했는데, 마치 비둘기 같이.  위에 나온 그림은 비둘기 같지가 안하고, 참새나, 종달새 같이 좀 작은새 같이 보이기도 하고.  Copy Rights 문제가 없었을까?  트위트 회사가 .. 원래 어디에 있었는지 모르지만, 우리 회사 바로 옆 빌딩으로 이사를 온답니다. 10가와 9가 사이. 그래서. 지금 한 6 개월째 Remodeling 하고, 공사하고. 하던데.. .  아마 젊은 사람 (직원) 들이 많을것 같은 생각이 나는군요.  Fresh Blood, 젊은 사람들의 왕래가 많을듯해서,  저는 아주 기대를 하고 있습니다.  트위트나, 구글이나, 얼굴책 ..  이런 Application 으로 떼돈을 버는 회사들이 ..  사람 살기 좋은 시대를 만들어 가고는 있지만, 개인 정보, 집 주소, 취미,  멤버들이 출. 퇴근하는 시간대, 어떤 교통 수단, 좋아 하는 음식, 자주 가는 식당, 자주 사는 옷, 자주 가는 백화점, 어떤차?  어떤 색, 초, 중, 고, 대 학교 정보, 부부 생활. 이것. 저것. 너무 많이 정보를 가지고 있고, 서로 Share 하기 때문에.. 저는 아주 싫어요.  예를 들어서 사진을 올리면, 언제, 어디에서 그 사진을 몇시쯤에 찍었다는 것도 다 알수가 있다고 하더군요.  제가 조선시대 사람처럼 살고 있어서 그런지 몰라도. 너무 내가 누군가 아는것이 영 불편 하더라고요.
