Massive data breach exposes 200 million X-twitter users’ information

ISLAMABAD: Cyber experts uncover a significant breach compromising 9.4 GB of data, impacting 200 million former Twitter users.

In a startling revelation, cybersecurity analysts from CyberPress have identified one of the largest data breaches in recent history, exposing sensitive information of ex-Twitter users.

The leaked data includes email addresses, user names, and X account details, potentially exposing individuals to phishing attacks and identity theft.

The breach, first disclosed on a prominent hacking forum by user ‘Mashupa’ on July 7, 2024, comprises 10 files each containing 1 GB of data available for unrestricted download. This alarming development raises critical concerns about user privacy and cybersecurity measures.

Despite alerts from concerned agencies, X (ex-Twitter) has yet to respond to inquiries regarding the breach, leaving affected users vulnerable to cybercriminal activities. The incident underscores the urgent need for enhanced digital security and vigilance in safeguarding personal information online.
