A vulnerability in Twitter for Android could have allowed attackers to access private direct messages (DMs) and other data. The flaw is related to an underlying Android operating system (OS) security issue (CVE-2018-9492), which affects operating system versions 8 and 9. Twitter said it does not have evidence that the flaw was exploited by attackers. The news comes days after Twitter acknowledged it may be facing a fine of up to $250 million for a recent high-profile Twitter hack.
