Excerpt:

Attention Twitter users: If you’ve been trying to access your Twitter account today, many of you can’t.   You’ll have to (this is a good place for a hash tag) #reset your password. Twitter may have had a record 20 million tweets about the election on Tuesday, but now many Twitter users have received an email notification asking them to choose new passwords after an unknown website or online service compromised some accounts. A few high-profile users, including TechCrunch, were affected. Once users reset their Twitter passwords, naturally, they took to the Twitterverse to complain about having to do it. “We’re committed to keeping Twitter a safe and open community. As part of that commitment, in instances when we believe an account may have been compromised, we reset the password and send an email letting the account owner know this has happened along with information about creating a new password.
