It was not their intention to store passwords without encryption.

It is fair to say that their software should be originally designed to store passwords with encryption.

It was just because of a bug in their software that accidentally wrote the passwords to an internal log in plaintext.

I sometimes wonder whether the social media are using these types of scary announcements to promote themselves or get people to reactivate their accounts. I guess for those who are big users of Twitter they may have something to lose. But I don't think it would make a huge impact if someone should get to discover my password. I only use pseudonyms, and never the same password. The account is also not that meaningful to me.

Twitter is a shithole, place of censorship. I don't get why people still use it. I would rather talk in Facebook than go to Twitter
No one knows what the future holds, that's why its potential is infinite

They do it on purpose so they can sell twitter accounts for some easy cash.
Thank you VPSlices and Post4VPS for your beautiful VPS!
