Summary: The details, which appear to be genuine, do not include passwords. They do include OAuth tokens, though, so Twitter users should probably revoke and re-establish access to connected third-party apps.
A hacker from Mauritania says he has gained access to a substantial trove of Twitter login details, which he has published online. The haul doesn’t include passwords, but now would be a good time to revoke the access of third-party apps to your Twitter account (before re-establishing that access as needed).
The hacker, who goes by the name of Mauritania Attacker, leaked just over 15,000 account details early on Tuesday through the file-sharing service Zippyshare. However, the Indian security site Techworm said it had interviewed him, and he apparently claimed to have access to the “entire database of users on Twitter.”
