Well, I think it's quite difficult to argue that. If you had a keylogger installed on your machine – apparently the case here – in what way did the website leak your personal information? Wasn't it the browser's fault?
I do think it's pretty illogical to complain about Twitter being vulnerable, if this leak was caused by screen-scraping malware in a browser. It's not something that Twitter can really defend against, beyond measures like 2FA.
