A data enthusiast known as 'ThinkingOne' has released a database containing 201 million pieces of user data from the X platform, claiming it includes information from two prior leaks. The data, verified by Safety Detectives, includes details like email addresses, locations, and user profiles. The initial breach stemmed from a security vulnerability discovered by Twitter in January 2022, which allowed data collection through users' emails or phone numbers. ThinkingOne has stated the compromised data was a combination of this and another breach from January 2025, highlighting ongoing risks for X users.
The integrity of user data on social media is under severe threat, especially with comprehensive leaks that combine previous breaches. Users' sensitive information is now exposed.
Twitter's vulnerability, which allowed malicious actors to exploit user data, was confirmed, emphasizing the need for stronger security measures to protect personal information.
