`Twitter` warns its users of a possible cyber attack

ArabiaWeather.com- Twitter has warned some of its users of a possible cyberattack by government-sponsored hackers to obtain sensitive data from their accounts, according to Reuters.

The notice, which is the first of its kind for a microblogging site, said it saw no evidence that the hackers obtained sensitive information from the "small set of accounts" targeted. The site did not provide further information about the attack or possible suspects in the investigation.

The " Twitter " alert is the latest in a series of alerts amid increasing concern about cyberattacks by government-sponsored organizations, indicating that government agencies, companies and media have been subjected to breaches.
