Pro-Islamic hacker claims to have compromised every Twitter account
A hacktivist known as Mauritania Attacker has claimed to have compromised every account on Twitter by stealing a list of OAuth tokens.
OAuth is an authorisation protocol that allows websites to share log-in credentials. The stolen tokens could be used to access Twitter accounts without need for a password.
According to Indian security news site Techworm, the pro-Islamic hacker today published OAuth details for 15,167 accounts on a file-sharing website. "In a conversation with Techworm, he confirmed that he have access to entire database of users on twitter and no account is safe from him, may be he will leak unlimited accounts credentials in the coming future [sic]."
