Tuesday 23rd Juin 2020 we receieved an email from twitter business to inform us about a possible personnal data breach, here's the email with the complete informations
Hello,
We
are writing to let you know of a data security incident that may have
involved your personal information on ads.twitter.com and
analytics.twitter.com.
We
became aware of an issue that meant that prior to May 20, 2020, if you
viewed your billing information on ads.twitter.com or
analytics.twitter.com the billing information may have been stored in
the browser’s cache. Examples of that information include email address,
phone number, last four digits of your credit card number (not complete
numbers, expiration dates or security codes), and billing address. If
you used a shared computer, it is possible that if someone used the
computer after you they could have seen the information stored in the
browser's cache (most browsers generally store data in their cache by
default for a short period of time like 30 days).
On
May 20, 2020, we updated the instructions that Twitter sends to your
browser’s cache to stop this from happening. While we have no evidence
that your billing information was compromised, we want to make sure
you’re aware of the issue and how to protect yourself going forward. If
you currently use a shared computer to access your Twitter Ads or
Analytics billing information, we recommend clearing the browser cache
when you log out.
We’re
very sorry this happened. We recognize and appreciate the trust you
place in us, and are committed to earning that trust every day. If you
have additional questions, you can write to our Office of Data
Protection here.
