Twitter login credentials leaked

Twitter said that it was trying to figure out how user names and passwords from thousands of accounts apparently showed up at an online file sharing website.

Information posted on Pastebin.com pages appeared to be from about 35,000 Twitter accounts, according to a message tweeted by the San Francisco firm.

“We’re looking into the situation and have pushed out password resets to potentially affected accounts,” Twitter said.

Twitter recommended users change their passwords. According to Twitter the list at Pastebin included spam accounts and incorrect login credentials.

The evident data breach came as Twitter challenged a court order to turn over to law enforcement data on one of its users involved in Occupy Wall Street.
The motion filed Monday in a New York state court said the order would require Twitter to violate federal law and denies the user the ownership rights to his Twitter messages. The American Civil Liberties Union on Tuesday applauded Twitter’s action, saying the company was standing up for free speech.
