Federal investigators say the social media company broke rules on giving personal data to advertisers.
Twitter generates most of its revenue from advertising on its platform, which allows users ranging from consumers to celebrities to corporations to post 280-character messages, or tweets.
"This practice affected more than 140 million Twitter users, while boosting Twitter's primary source of revenue."Ian Reynolds, managing director of computer security firm Secure Team, told the BBC: "Once again, Twitter is violating the trust that their users have in their platform by using their private information to their own advantage and increasing their own revenue."
In order to authenticate an account, Twitter requires people to provide a telephone number and email address.
