Earlier this week, hackers gained access to Twitter's internal systems
and stole information, compromising 250,000 accounts before the breach
was stopped.
Bob Lord, the company's manager of network security, reported the incident on Twitter's official blog Friday.
Twitter is resetting passwords for the affected users.
Twitter's Lord did not specify the method by which hackers penetrated its system. However, he mentioned vulnerabilities related to Java in Apple's Safari Web browser and Mozilla's Firefox browser, and noted an advisory from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that users disable Java on their computers.
