Apparently there was a security breach at Twitter last week. You may have noticed that Twitter was down for a short while on Friday. Here is a link to a blog post by Twitter about the attack -

As a precaution, you should change your Twitter password and here are some guidelines for creating a strong password.
  1. Make it at least eight characters long
  2. Randomly combine both alpha and numeric characters
  3. Use at least one upper-case letter
  4. Use at least one special character such as @, %, ~
  5. Do not use any names associated with you such as first or last name, pets name, nickname, user name.

Thanks Jay, here at WA, for bringing this to my attention in last night’s live webinar.
