In a release on Friday, social networking website Twitter told it's 330 million members that their passwords were exposed internally.

"When you set a password for your Twitter account, we use technology that masks it so no one at the company can see it. We recently identified a bug that stored passwords unmasked in an internal log. We have fixed the bug, and our investigation shows no indication of breach or misuse by anyone."

"Out of an abundance of caution, we ask that you consider changing your password on all services where you’ve used this password. You can change your Twitter password anytime by going to the password settings page."

While it was not suggested in the release, if the password you use for Twitter is the same as one you use to login to other services such as Facebook or Gmail, then it is important for you to update these passwords as well.
