Chad LoderThe massive Twitter data breach is real. Here is a small offer of proof. There is data from entire countries in the data set.
Nephryn@chadloder What kind of data did they access? I read name, phone number, and Twitter handle, but in this screen shot I see text that looks like parts of conversations.
@nephryn Phone number, verified (true/false), account name, account bio. Tens of millions, perhaps over 100M

TonyK@juliewebgirl @chadloder @nephryn Presumably they have either the email address or phone number you suited to set up the account. Combined with tweets you sent or read, that would have huge value to marketers and probably hackers.

Yeah, my point is that people hand over their info when asked on a sign up form way too easily and don't actually read nor look for the "skip" button nor have throwaway emails, etc. then are outraged later.
