Twitter data breach exposes 7 million users' private information
A Twitter API vulnerability patched in January 2022 was widely exploited by threat actors before the fix, with one having shared the private information of 7 million users on a hacker forum.
According to Bleeping Computer, a security researcher has disclosed another, possibly more significant, data dump of millions of Twitter records containing non-public information, including phone numbers and email addresses.
