Do you use twitter .. Change your password please

https://www.pcgamer.com/if-you-use-twitter-you-should-change-your-password-right-away/

Twitter is recommending that all 330 million of its users change
their passwords today following a computer glitch that exposed them in
plain text.
"We recently identified a bug that stored passwords
unmasked in an internal log. We have fixed the bug, and our
investigation shows no indication of breach or misuse by anyone. Out of
an abundance of caution, we ask that you consider changing your password
on all services where you’ve used this password," Twitter stated in a blog post.Twitter discovered the bug on its own, which is a far better scenario than finding out after
a security breach. There's no evidence of foul play, and even if you
left your password alone, nothing would likely come of it. However, it's
always best to err on the side of caution in these cases.
