Is this the same breach that was half-disclosed in November, but there was no response or journalistic follow-up and the reporting researcher was deplatformed? That one was confusing.
- "The news of this more significant data breach comes from security expert Chad Loder, who first broke the news on Twitter and was suspended soon after posting. Loder subsequently posted a redacted sample of this larger data breach on Mastodon."
- "I have just received evidence of a massive Twitter data breach affecting millions of Twitter accounts in EU and US. I have contacted a sample of the affected accounts and they confirmed that the breached data is accurate. This breach occurred no earlier than 2021," Loder shared on Twitter."
- "BleepingComputer has obtained a sample file of this previously unknown Twitter data dump, which contains 1,377,132 phone numbers for users in France."
- "We have since confirmed with numerous users in this leak that the phone numbers are valid, verifying this additional data breach is real."
