Posted in: Uncategorized
Welcome to Ad Age’s Wake-Up Call, our daily roundup of advertising, marketing, media and digital news. What people are talking about today: Twitter users worldwide are busy changing their passwords after a bug in its systems exposed passwords in plain text internally. The social media platform made the announcement and advised users to change their passwords on Thursday, but tried to soften the blow by stating that there was “no reason to believe password information ever left Twitter’s systems or was misused by anyone.”
Twitter added that it removed the non-encrypted passwords from its system, and is working to avoid such an issue happening again. Meanwhile, Chief Technology Officer Parag Agrawal tried to put a positive spin on the embarrassing security issue, tweeting, “I’m sorry this happened, but am proud to work at a company that puts people who use our service first.”
