Twitter's notice is the latest amid concern about cyber attacks by state-sponsored organizations. Government agencies, businesses and media have all been hacked.
Motherboard, a tech news site, and the Financial Times earlier reported on Twitter's warning.
One organization that said it received the notice, a Winnipeg-based nonprofit called Coldhak, said the warning from Twitter came on Friday. The notice said theattackers may have been trying to obtain information such as "email addresses, IP addresses, and/or phone numbers".
Coldhak's Twitter account, @coldhakca, retweeted reports from a number of other users who said they received the notice. Coldhak and the other users did not indicate why they may have been singled out.
Colin Childs, one of the founding directors of Coldhak, told Reuters his organization has seen "no noticeable impact of this attack".
