I’ve just stumbled upon Twitter’s blog and found out that about 750 of Twitter accounts have be hacked by the link to a webcam site posted on these accounts. It’s been discovered that Twitter is not the only website that has been affedted by this attack. For now, Twitter has reset the passwords of the compromised accounts and removed all the spammy updates.

Furthermore Twitter strongly recommends all users to change the passwords and make sure to keep them strong so that it can help your account from being hijacked. For this Twitter offers a password strength indicator to help you choose a strong password when you sign up. If you are already a member change your password now for your own account’s protection. Also, avoid sharing your password with folks or services you don’t feel you can trust.Tw
