Yes, I also thought that part is fishy. They also said "don't worry, no passwords were visible" (I don't think any tech person would expect them to store passwords in plain text), then continue saying that email address, phone number and possibly other personal info was accessible. So, the answer should be yes? Also, the initial question is about "me". I also never considered that my own data would have been accessible in this attack, I thought they would be discussing about the targeted accounts.

They need to write this for their entire audience, most of whom has no idea what plain text even means. Also it was only a year ago that Facebook was found to have stored passwords in plain text so it's definitely a concern. Twitter has an excellent engineering blog so I'm looking forward to reading more technical details there if they publish any.
