Social media giant 'confident' its systems have not been hacked after website reports data breach

Millions of Twitter passwords have reportedly surfaced online and are being sold on the dark web. LeakedSource, which collects credentials from data breaches, says it has received more than 32 million records, including email addresses, usernames and passwords."We have very strong evidence that Twitter was not hacked, rather the consumer was,"it says. A spokesperson for the social media giant said it was "confident" its systems had not been breached. Leaked Source believes that malware was responsible for the breach and sent usernames and passwords saved in browsers such as Chrome and Firefox to the hackers. A Russian, known by his alias Tessa88, is selling the credentials for 10 bitcoins, or about £4,000, according to ZDNet.
