A report from CNET about the compromise of thousands (the exact number of accounts compromised seems to be disputed, but seems to be over 20,000) of twitter account credentials.
If your account is affected you should've already been notified and should follow the instructions. If you're not directly affected, now might be a good time to revisit your password for twitter and other online services and ask yourself some questions:
1. Am I using the same password for multiple services?
2. Could someone who knows me (or who can find me online) easily guess the password I'm using?
3. Is the password strong (letters, numbers and ideally special characters)?
