Data from 235 million Twitter accounts has been leaked and posted on an online hackers forum, free for anyone to download, according to reports late Wednesday.
Researchers at Privacy Affairs reported the leaked data includes account names, handles, creation dates, follower counts and email addresses, and that the data could be used for phishing, doxxing or to hack users’ Twitter accounts.
The Post reported the data likely was compiled in late 2021 through a vulnerability that Twitter said it had identified last August.
