Twitter for Android users are being urged to update their app to avoid a security bug that allows a malicious user to access private account data and could also allow an attacker to take control of accounts to send tweets and direct messages. The warning comes from Twitter who said there are no indications the flaw was exploited and that the fix requires a simple app update.
The company said impacted Twitter users will be contacted via email or via Twitter itself if they are vulnerable to attack.
