BREAKING - an apparently credible threat actor is claiming they have the data of 400,000,000 Twitter users and attempting to sell it
The database is private according to them, and contains devastating amounts of information including emails and phone numbers to high profile users.
The threat actor provided a sample of 1,000 notable accounts and included the private information of - AOC, Brian Krebs, Vitalik Buterin, Kevin O'Leary, Donald Trump JR, and many more.
They claim this data was obtained in early 2022 due to an exploit in Twitter and in their post they talk directly to Elon Musk asking him to buy the data to avoid GDPR lawsuits.
Please note - At this stage it is not possible to fully verify that there are indeed 400,000,000 users in the database, or that it indeed came directly from Twitter. In an independent verification the data itself appears to be legitimate and I will follow up on any developments.
