Twitter has launched an investigation after the popular micro-blogging service was breached and details of 55,000 accounts were published on the Internet by hackers. Despite this, it appears that the spoils were spammer accounts with the published usernames and passwords being of no real value.
In an announcement on their Twitter Communications account, they wrote "we're looking into the situation and have pushed out password resets to potentially affected accounts."
