Buffer app, the social-media management service that lets you cross-post to various social networks, was hacked yesterday. Hackers used the exploit to send spam messages over Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and other sites. Buffer maintains that user passwords are safe and that security has been bolstered. The service is now operating as normal, but users will need to reconnect their Facebook and Twitter accounts to get the problem back to normal. It’s not yet clear how many of Buffer’s 1 million or so users were affected by the hack.
