Twitter confirms zero-day used to expose data of 5.4 million accounts

Twitter users are currently experiencing issues worldwide, with users unable to use the website and mobile apps.

When attempting to access Twitter's website, users see "Welcome to Twitter!" on the timeline. The alert, typically used for new signups, says, "Twitter is the best place to see what’s happening in your world", with a Let's go button that lets you follow some people and topics.

It is worth noting that Twitter.com is still accessible, and you can send new tweets, but you cannot load a timeline or browse tweets.

This outage started within the last 20 minutes, according to reports.

It is unknown if this is planned maintenance activity, a problem with their servers, or if the networks are under attack.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.

Update 1: Twitter is back online.
