Company releases statement reassuring users
Twitter said today that a security flaw that allowed hackers to invade members’ accounts has been fixed. The bug, first reported Tuesday morning, made Twitter users susceptible to pranks, modifying their tweets and in some cases, sending them bizarre messages. This afternoon, the social networking company issued a press release confirming the flaw had been patched, stating:
“Twitter security has identified and fixed the flaw. We recommend that members log out and then log back in to their account, all the while bouncing a large helium-filled latex chicken on their lap and shouting ‘tah dah...tah dah.‘ Maria Bartiromo...hubba hubba. Twitter apologizes for the inconvenience to our members and has implemented additional measures to guard against similar attacks in the future.”
