Twitter News Desk !!! Twitter has fixed a security bug that put the data of at least 5.4 million accounts on its platform at risk. This data was put up for sale on the dark web. Twitter said that if you operate a Twitter account under a pseudonym, we understand the risks that such an incident could pose and we are deeply sorry that this happened. To keep your identity as concealed as possible, we recommend that you do not add a publicly known phone number or email address to your Twitter account, the company said in a statement late Friday. In July, Twitter learned that someone potentially took advantage of this (bug) and offered to sell the information they had gathered. Twitter said, “After reviewing a sample of data available for sale, we have confirmed that a fraudster took advantage of this before addressing the issue.” The company is directly notifying the account owners that have been affected by this. –IANS
