Summary
A leak allegedly involving 2.87 billion Twitter (X) user profiles has surfaced on Breach Forums, with claims it was stolen by a disgruntled employee during recent layoffs.
The leak, shared by known forum user “ThinkingOne,” includes detailed metadata like bios, follower counts, tweet history, and account activity—but not email addresses.
Despite its scale, X has issued no response. The incident raises major privacy concerns amid silence from the company and speculation over the data’s true origin.
The truly surprising thing is that so many people still use Twitter.
It’s beyond me how they can still do so in accordance with their personal values.
