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."

That's why Loder was banned!

Since he was banned at the same time than crimeth!nc i thought it was political.
