Official TWITTER Ap - Security Issue?

[ChrisEF]

Hi all

Be interested to hear thoughts on what I think could be a security issue with the official Twitter applicaiont.

I use the official Twitter application on my Lumia 930 (WP8.1 Denim update). I have 3 different Twitter accounts that I manage from the phone, a personal one and two related to websites I run.

Just now, while "managing" my personal account, I received a message from an online retailer. I went into the app and loaded up my DM's only to see not just those sent to my personal account, but also DM's sent to my two additional accounts. Is this not a security issue? Surely I should only be able to see and reply to DM's using the account they were originally sent to?

Example ;
- someone sends a DM to my WebSite account which is "managed" on my Windows Phone.
- while reading DM's sent to my PersonalAccount I can see the above message that was not sent to PersonalAccount but to Website

I have now removed Website account from the Twitter App and I can STILL see the DM's sent to it, when viewing PersonalAccount! I presume they are cached somewhere?

Sorry for using as an image, but post wont allow me to use the symbol due to links for new members.

Update:
In order to clear the DM's associated with View attachment 95183Website I have had to delete ALL accounts and add them back again. There must be some type of DM caching that takes place and remains in place even when you've removed the original recipient account from your phone.
