Twitter tackles suspicious logins and password heists
Twitter has changed the way it handles passwords and has made it harder for attackers to take over users' accounts.
Post Heartbleed and a number of assaults on personal accounts, security is high on the agenda. Twitter said in a blog post that its changes are designed to preserve individual account integrity and clean up its authentication and password reset processes.
"We know some of you occasionally have difficulty accessing your Twitter account, and whatever the circumstances may be, we want you to be able to get back into it quickly and securely," it said. "So today we're starting to roll out two improvements that will help protect your account and restore access: one, a streamlined password reset experience; and two, better identification and blocking of suspicious logins."
