This is the latest in a long line of cyber attacks. 250,000 Twitter users have had their accounts hacked into. Twitter's information security director Bob Lord said the users' passwords, usernames and emails had been stolen.
Affected users have had passwords invalidated and have been sent emails informing them.
Mr Lord said the attack "was not the work of amateurs".
He said it appeared similar to recent attacks on the New York Times and others. The US newspaper reported this week that their computer systems had been breached by China-based hackers
