Twitter Inc. is warning developers that their application programming interface key, user access tokens and token secrets for their own Twitter accounts may have been exposed in browser caches.
The warning only applies where developers have used a public or shared computer and does not apply if developers have not done so.

“Since hundreds of billions of dollars in online business rely on APIs to smoothly function, this growing ubiquity makes APIs a juicy target for malicious hackers trying to exploit weaknesses in these connection points,” Ameet Naik, security evangelist at application protection firm PerimeterX Inc., told SiliconANGLE. “Leaked keys and security tokens make their way to the dark web and are used in automated attacks against API endpoints.”
