In our earlier posts, we reported that a lot of users are posting about the crashing issue with the Twitter app on the Android platform. Some users posted that the app is not opening after updating it to the latest version on Google Play Store, while some reported that they are using the older version of the Twitter app and still facing the crashing issue.
Well, Twitter officially acknowledged the issues with the Android app of Twitter and posted an update with the official account of Twitter Support. In the tweet, Twitter also suggested its users to not update and download the latest version of the app. You can check out the official tweet below.

How to fix Twitter crashing issue -


If you are still using the older version of the Twitter app, first you need to turn off the auto-update feature in the Google Play Store. For this, go to the Play Store app then head to Settings > Auto-Update Apps > Don’t Auto-Update Apps. You can enable this feature later, as it will stop other apps on your device to download the updates automatically.
Well, if you are already using the latest version of the app and still facing the crashing issue. You just need to clear the Twitter app’s cache memory. To do this, head to Settings > Apps > Twitter > Storage and cache > Clear Storage > Clear Cache. This will fix the crashing issue, but this also reset the app data and you will need to sign-up with your account again.
If you are still facing any issues or need any assistance with the steps mentioned above, let us know in the comments section below.
Many readers commented on this post and mentioned that the app is still crashing after clearing the cache memory. Well, if you have tried this method and still it’s not working, try the method mentioned below.
You can try installing the previous version on your device. To do this, first of all, uninstall your Twitter app. And visit the link below to download the previous version Twitter APK on your device. After installing the app, you can use it normally.
If you do not want to download the app from a third-party app store, but you need to access Twitter, we recommend you to use the Twitter website on any internet Chrome browser. You can also use Twitter Lite if the app is available in your region.
Kindly share this post with your friends who might need to fix this issue.
Just in case, if the app still crashes, we recommend you to wait for the official update for the app on Play Store.
Twitter’s new update (Version 8.28.2) fixes the crashing issue for the Android Twitter app. More details can be found here. Twitter official support also tweeted the following about the new update.

Ransomware's Dangerous New Trick Is Double-Encrypting Your Data

  Ransomware groups have always taken a more-is-more approach . If a victim pays a ransom and then goes back to business as usual-hit them again. Or don’t just encrypt a target’s systems; steal their data first, so you can threaten to leak it if they don’t pay up. The latest escalation? Ransomware hackers who encrypt a victim’s data twice at the same time. Double-encryption attacks have happened before, usually stemming from two separate ransomware gangs compromising the same victim at the same time. But antivirus company Emsisoft says it is aware of dozens of incidents in which the same actor or group intentionally layers two types of ransomware on top of each other. “The groups are constantly trying to work out which strategies are best , which net them the most money for the least amount of effort,” says Emsisoft threat analyst Brett Callow. “So in this approach you have a single actor deploying two types of ransomware. The victim decrypts their data and discovers it’s not act...

Babuk ransomware is back, uses new version on corporate networks

  After announcing their exit from the ransomware business in favor of data theft extortion, the Babuk gang appears to have slipped back into their old habit of encrypting corporate networks. The criminals are currently using a new version of their file-encrypting malware and have moved the operation to a new leak site that lists a handful of victims. Gang’s still in the game The Babuk ransomware group became known at the beginning of the year but the gang says that their attacks had started in mid-October 2020, targeting companies across the world and demanding ransoms typically between $60,000 and $85,000 in bitcoin cryptocurrency. In some cases, victims were asked hundreds of thousands for data decryption. One of their most publicized victims is the Washinton DC’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). This attack likely pushed the threat actor into announcing its retirement from the ransomware business only to adopt another extortion model that did not include encryption....

Microsoft Teams Phishing Attack Targets Office 365 Users

  Up to 50,000 Office 365 users are being targeted by a phishing campaign that purports to notify them of a “missed chat” from Microsoft Teams. Researchers are warning of a phishing campaign that pretends to be an automated message from Microsoft Teams. In reality, the attack aims to steal Office 365 recipients’ login credentials. Teams is Microsoft’s popular collaboration tool, which has particularly risen in popularity among remote workforces during the pandemic  — making it an attractive brand for attackers to impersonate. This particular campaign was sent to between 15,000 to 50,000 Office 365 users, according to researchers with Abnormal Security on Thursday. “Because Microsoft Teams is an instant-messaging service, recipients of this notification might be more apt to click on it so that they can respond quickly to whatever message they think they may have missed based on the notification,” said researchers in a Thursday analysis . The initial phishing email displays the name ...
