Massive Data Breach: Over 200 Million X Users' Information Leaked

Apr 4 / Nayanika
In what is being described as one of the largest social media data breaches ever, a hacker has claimed to have leaked a database containing details of over 200 million X (formerly Twitter) users. The breach reportedly includes sensitive information such as screen names, user IDs, full names, locations, email addresses, follower counts, and more. The leaked data, amounting to a staggering 34 GB file, was shared on a hacking forum after attempts to contact X went unanswered.

Cybersecurity researchers have verified the authenticity of the leaked data, raising concerns about the potential misuse of this information. The hacker, who identifies as a "data enthusiast," insists that their actions were legal, but the implications of this breach are far-reaching. X has yet to respond to these claims, leaving users in uncertainty about the security of their personal information.


This incident underscores the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures and transparent communication from social media platforms. As the digital landscape evolves, safeguarding user data must remain a top priority.
