Security Breach at Twitter

A security breach at Twitter has exposed hundreds of pages of secret documents. Technically speaking, the breach does not to be at Twitter itself. It appears that the Yahoo email account of one of Twitter's employees was effectively hacked. The hacker used information in the Yahoo account to gain access to shared Google documents.

Your Twitter account (name/password) were not, and will not, be effected by this breach.
