Twitter apologized on Tuesday for sticking business clients' billing information into browser cache - a spot where the uninvited could have had a peek, regardless of not having the right to see it.
On 20 May, Twitter updated the instructions that Twitter sends to browser cache, thereby putting a stopper in the leak.
Twitter recommends that those who use a shared computer to access Twitter Ads or Analytics billing information should clear the browser cache when they log out.

In May 2018, we got a warning from Twitter admitting that the company had made a serious security blunder: it had been storing unencrypted copies of passwords.
