There is news of leakage of data of users of microblogging site Twitter. Last month also there were reports of data leak of Twitter users. According to the latest report, the data of about 200 million users of Twitter has been leaked. This data leak includes e-mail IDs of 200 million Twitter users. This data of Twitter users has been published on the online hacker forum. This information has been given by a security researcher.
“Unfortunately this data leak will be used for target phishing and a lot of hacking. This is one of the most important leaks,” Alon Gal, co-founder of Israeli cyber security-monitoring firm Hudson Rock, wrote on LinkedIn.
Twitter has not yet said anything officially about this leak. Gall had informed about this leak only on 24 December 2022. Twitter has neither given any statement on this leak nor is there any news about the action taken on this leak.
The news agency Reuters has also not confirmed the data whether this leak contains data of Twitter users only or of some other. A screenshot of the data leak has also been posted on the hacker forum. After being posted on the hacker forum, the data leak has also been shared on all online platforms.
If you also feel that your Twitter data has been leaked, then you can check whether your e-mail ID has been leaked or not by visiting the Have I Been Pwned website. Information about the location of the hacker who leaked this data has not been revealed at the moment, but it is being said that this data leak happened in early 2021.
