A possible TWTR hack includes 32 million passwords and other credential details for users of the website. However, the social media service is claiming that its system haven’t been breached. Sources claim its more likely this information came from hacked web browsers.

The majority of the passwords that were stolen are for Russian Twitter users. One website confirmed the authenticity of the attack by having 15 users check their passwords against the leak. All of them found the data to be correct, reports TechCrunch.

LeakedSource, the website hosting the hacked Twitter passwords, claims that the tops ones are simple and easy to guess. This includes passwords such as “123456”, “qwerty” and “password.”
