Reporting: Twitter security among journalists and news companies

Goal

Obtain data on the use of Twitter’s security features by journalists and news companies.

Process

We asked journalists around the world to answer a Twitter poll on two-factor authentication use. We followed up with private calls and emails with staff at news companies.

Result

The data we collected was explained in two blog posts:

1. ‘What’s two-factor?’ How journalists can protect themselves from Twitter hacks.
2. Three simple steps to protect shared Twitter accounts from hackers.
