Massive Twitter data breach was far worse than reported, reveal security researchers

A massive Twitter data breach last year, exposing more than five million phone numbers and email addresses, was worse than initially reported. We’ve been shown evidence that the same security vulnerability was exploited by multiple bad actors, and the hacked data has been offered for sale on the dark web by several sources. It had […]

@chadloder Twitter .. full of 💩 and leaking everywhere .. and that was fully staffed and doing their best.

Hmm 🤔
Given the recent changes and lack of staff, do we think security at the birdsite is likely to:

…remain dreadful
13.2%
…gradually decline
14.3%
…plummet into a bottomless chasm of non-existence
72.5%

@itsallprettybad @chadloder Sorry I missed this one. As a matter of fact, "plummet into a bottomless chasm of nonexistence" is correct.

@chadloder do you have any recommendations of what one can do if their information is out there? New phone/email?

@chadloder I'm so glad I use disposable contact info for any social media & really any other service that just doesn't need to know anything about me.

@chadloder Well, they don't have my name or phone number and the email address they have is a honeypot that already gets more spam than not. So right now I'm thinking that all the Twits that said I had something to hide because I didn't use my real name look pretty dumb – again.

@chadloder what people forgot, twitter was already a mess before elon ownership. twitter board and jack dorsey knew very well the $44 billion is one in a lifetime chance so they chased the deal until end of the world.

@chadloder glad I remained highly sceptical about their DM service.
The number of times utilities/telcos asked me for very identifying personal info by DM as part of social media customer care interactions is worrying - a major telco asked for my *DOB & home address* to by to be sent by DM.
Obviously I declined … but then had some random poster barge in, patronisingly ‘splaining that I was being ridiculous and am “too stupid” to understand what a DM is 🤔
Such a lovely platform!
