š 200M X (Twitter) user records leaked in a 34GB free-for-allāagain.
Data enthusiast āThinkingOneā released the files after allegedly failing to get a response from X. The breach combines:
ć»Data from a 2022 vulnerability X previously downplayed
ć»January 2025 breach data
ć»A total of 2.8 billion records spanning X user IDs, emails, bios, locations & more
X continues to deny its systems were the direct source of the leak. But researchers confirm much of the data is realāand the scale is unmatched.
š” The kicker? ThinkingOne believes this mightāve required internal access, or an attack of unprecedented sophistication.
Even without passwords, this treasure trove fuels phishing, impersonation, and targeted disinformation.
