So another day another hack / data dump.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/400m-twitter-users-data-is-reportedly-on-sale-in-the-black-market

This one is just more impressive due to its size. And with everyone tweeting about every crypto things I am sure there is a ton of good data about people BTC use and everything else.
Lots of good targeted spam / scams / attacks coming against people who were tweeting about their crypto holdings and use.

This is more serious than I thought it was.
The fact that it is not only the email but also the phone-numbers of the people are allegedly for sale means the possible buyer could have the chance not only to go for a classic fishing campaign but also more elaborate kinds of attacks like SIM-swap or even go as far as de-anonymize those who are deemed "rich enough" in order to get them to pay through extortion.

I hope this ends up being false, but just in case, I recommend anyone reading this to treat your Twitter-linked phone number as compromised and delete it as 2FA on your exchanges and bank accounts, as soon as possible until this gets confirmed or debunked officially.

Merry Christmas



Sure it's a serious case, after all, data is the most expensive and important thing on the internet and I'm sure the person who got all this data and especially the phone number of the users can sell the data for a very good price and can earn huge money from it, also, once again we can see a famous company is under attack by the hackers and they failed to prove enough security to protectthe people information, that's why I always suggest my friend to use fake information in social media.

This kind of stuff is happening all the damn time. Just try & be very vigilant, if anybody calls you from a number you don’t recognise & starts saying you owe money then ignore it. If you get any unsolicited letters requesting similar, ignore it.

There will be a lot of phishing going on, if you’re unlucky enough to be one of the people who had data leaked, you need to stay very alert.

This is really disturbing, 400M users of twitter accounts are being sold with email and phone numbers. The question is how much is sold per account on twitter? if that's 400M users, let's just say 5$ per account is the big amount.

It's so scary to use twitter today, only Elon Musk became the owner of such an incident that immediately happened to be hacked by hackers. But for sure, Musk did it right away.
