. The apparent data leak could expose the real-life identities of anonymous Twitter users and make it easier for criminals to hijack Twitter accounts, the experts warned, or even victims’ accounts on other websites. The trove of leaked records also includes Twitter users’ names, account handles, follower numbers and the dates the accounts were created, according to forum listings reviewed by security researchers and shared with CNN.
The account data could also be valuable to hackers who can use the information as part of password-reset attempts and account takeovers. The risk is particularly high for individuals who use the same account credentials on Twitter as they do for other digital services such as banks or cloud storage, researchers said, because hackers could take information gleaned from the leak to pry open user accounts elsewhere.

The death sentence of four Iranian protestors who were tried unfairly and without a lawyer has been confirmed in the Supreme Court and they may be executed at any moment. Punishing the regime after execution is of no use, today they should be punished for violating human rights.
Email addresses have leaked 1000x over from 1000's of websites. Get ready for more spam.
This level of security on Twitter is a disaster, it's really great 🤦👎
Breaking news that’s 2 years old
Believe
How many emails am I going to get from China and Saudi Arabia?
elonmusk takes ZERO responsibility - like all Republicans.
Ya Türkiye Cumhuriyetinde tanitilacagim ve kaosu oraya tasiyacagim (ki kimseyi korumayacaksiniz orda), yada Dünya genelinde devam edilir.
Why do hackers keep targeting the everyday user instead of just those high executives who actually run the company?
Doubt that was a hack, more than likely a leak from the lunatics that were fired from there. So many revengeful and hateful people worked at Twitter and you saw it when they got the boot.
How soon before the financial info of accounts shelling out $8/ month is compromised?
Circulate mine, I dont give a shit. Its used for spam anyways. Have fun with it.
experts say
To Hausa Language : A halin yanzu adiresoshin imel da ke da alaƙa da bayanan martaba sama da miliyan 200 na Twitter suna yawo a dandalin masu satar bayanai a ƙarƙashin ƙasa, in ji masana tsaro.
Governments mad Elon is exposing them
Big deal. Everyone else has my e-mail and phone number already it seems and the government does nothing to stop them
Thats ok. I recently switched emails. F gmail. It was full of spam/ads after using for over a decade.
hackers lol
tl;dr “…reports suggested the data was collected in 2021…” …before the bad spaceman owned it
CNN two years late on another story. Lol
Wait tell the musl haters realize how unsafe and unsecured farcebook is. They will say its better yet its far worse
Why is a 2021 hack news in 2023?
Thanks elonmusk Maybe this could've been prevented with a few more people on staff.
