Twitter has locked some accounts following reports that log-in details for millions of users were on sale.
根据报道，在数百万用户的账户密码被叫卖后，Twitter现在已经锁定了部分帐号。
In a blogpost, Twitter said it was confident that the data had not come from a hack attack on its servers. But after scrutinising the list, it had locked some accounts and users would need to reset their passwords.
在一篇博文中，Twitter方面表示，它坚信数据并非来源于黑客对其服务器的攻击。但在仔细审查了这份名单后，Twitter锁定了部分帐号，而相应用户登录前需重置其密码。
"The purported Twitter names and passwords may have been amassed from combining information from other recent breaches, malware on victim machines that are stealing passwords for all sites, or a combination of both," wrote Michael Coates, chief security officer at Twitter, in the blogpost.
Twitter的首席安全官迈克尔·柯蒂斯在一篇博文中写道：“所谓的Twitter账户和密码，可能来源于最近其他的泄漏事件，也可能是受害者机器上正在窃取所有网站密码的恶意软件，或是两者的结合。”
He did not say how many of the supposedly stolen log-ins were legitimate or how many accounts had been locked.
但他并未透露被盗的账户中能合法登陆的数量，或者说已被锁定的账户的数量。
Some security experts have expressed doubt about whether all the information in the list of 32 million log-in names is genuine.
一些安全专家对名单中3200万用户信息的真实性表示怀疑。
Per Thorsheim, who advises companies about security and safe log-in procedures, said he was "sceptical" about the data but added that he had not had chance to look through it himself.
从事公司安全咨询服务、登录程序安全的Per Thorsheim表示，他对泄漏的数据十分怀疑，但他尚未浏览这些数据。
