In case you haven't heard yet, you need to change your Twitter password immediately.
The company announced on Thursday it discovered a bug that saved user passwords unprotected on an internal log.
Twitter said it has since fixed the issue. Although the company said there is no evidence passwords have been leaked or misused, it is urging its users to update their passwords.
Twitter says all 336 million users should change their passwords (http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/03/technology/twitter-password-bug/index.html)
Twitter says it doesn't appear that any information was leaked outside of Twitter, but just in case.
It may be a good idea to also run the email addresses you use with your Twitter accounts through https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to double check against know database breaches.
