Anonymous hackers announced today five lists containing passwords of Twitter users. we found that many of the accounts are just robots created profiles to spread spam and malware in service, but also affected several Brazilian accounts with email providers such as UOL, iG and Terra. If you are noticing something wrong in your account, your password may have been leaked.
The lists were made available initially in the Pastebin and an alternative version without the passwords of users, is available at this link. Give a Ctrl + F and search for your email address or user name. The Pastebin is known for hosting controversial text files such as passwords and leaked confidential documents obtained through raids on servers.
It is not known exactly how the passwords were stopping on the Internet, but most likely a false application has captured the combinations. Everyone already knows, but it never hurts to remember: it's not a good idea to enter the Twitter username and password on sites that promise to increase followers, or use combinations such as "123456", "101010" or words in the dictionary.
At the time of publication of this notice, each list had an average of 15,000 views. So, if your account is listed, probably someone is checking his messages direct super-secret, and compromising valuable right now - that is, change your password immediately.
Until the case is resolved, the accounts that were possibly affected had their passwords reset. For those who are worried that your account has been compromised, we suggest changing your password and follow the instructions in the Help Center.
It is important to remember that, until now, we find that the list contains Pastebin found in more than 20 000 duplicates, many accounts of spammers who have been suspended and many credentials that are not linked to one another (ie, the name and password user does not provide).
