A few days ago, Twitter became the latest target of hackers trying to get passwords after a Russian hacker, Tessa88 put the email password, useames and emails of more than 32 million Twitter users for sale online, ZDNet reported

Tessa said the accounts date back to 2015, but the data was probably gathered by malware, instead of an attack on Twitter itself.

 

To help keep people safe and accounts protected, we've been checking our data against what's been shared from recent password leaks. — Twitter Support (@Support) June 6, 2016
