For the first time in all this years, Twitter has sent warnings to some users that their accounts may have been hacked by "state-sponsored actors". The email Twitter sented inform the users the hackers may have sought their email, IP or phone number.
A Canadian non-profit organization called Coldhak posted this photo of the email they recived:
Some IT experts think these are the same hackers who breached Sony's computer network last year and leaked huge amounts of confidential accounts, hackers that were backed by the North Korean state. Pyongyand denied this.
A cybersecurity expert at the Center of Strategic and International Studies in Washington DC called James Lewis the hackers of this attack may be able to use other measures shuch as human agents or communications intercepts to successfully bypass any security measures, so they have far greater resources than criminal hacker groups.

PERSONAL COMMENT:
I think it's very good that Twitter have sented the warnings in spite of that we are speaking about Government hackers so the users can know what happened. For me, the Government is playing very dirty with this, because we they snatch us every time more privacy and they mustn't have control over our PRIVATE accounts if we aren't involved in any crime.
