Well this isn't good.
Late Friday morning,Watch A Wife Who Lost Her Chastity To A Friend Online Twitter notified a select group of users that some of their private messages might not have been exactly, well, private. The warning, issued to at least one Mashable reporter in the form of a popup within the mobile app, says the issue has been ongoing since May of last year.
That's right, this bug may have been exposing some of your direct messages for 16 months.

"The issue has persisted since May 2017, but we resolved it immediately upon discovering it."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
Obviously, a bug that might have sent your DMs to developers — developers, a Twitter spokesperson confirmed, who do not work at Twitter — is no laughing matter, but there is some good news.
According to the spokesperson, we don't necessarily need to worry that some dude somewhere is reading the DMs you sent to your significant other. Instead, it appears that the only direct messages potentially affected were those you sent directly to companies.
“This only involved conversations or DMs you would have had with companies or things that would have been powered by third parties,” the spokesperson explained over the phone. “It’s highly unlikely that this happened at all,” she added, noting that the company issued the warning out of a "complete abundance of caution."
A Twitter blog post further clarified that "[any] party that may have received unintended information was a developer registered through our developer program."
"Less than 1 percent of users were potentially affected," the spokesperson confirmed.
Still, though, it's possible you discussed private details — like travel plans or health information — over a DM with a company. Companies do offer customer support this way, after all.
While any bug potentially exposing direct messages is terrible, this sounds like it could have been a lot worse. Regardless, it's not exactly reassuring that your private messages can suddenly become not so private.
Maybe next time you need to message someone privately, do it right. Use Signal.
