I hear what you're saying, but I think — in this case — the article's just giving too much irrelevant information. I think most mainstream users I know would understand it if it were written something like:
> A bug caused passwords to be written on an internal computer log, the blog said.

- stordoff 9y agoI'm not sure many users would understand the issue from just that - a perfectly reasonable (albeit inaccurate) reaction to that would be "Of course Twitter store my passwords - otherwise how can I log in?".
