Over 200 million Twitter users’ personal information is leaked by hackers.

More than 200 million Twitter users’ personal information, including email addresses and phone numbers, reportedly fell into the hands of hackers who posted the information on a hacking website.

Alan Gal, the co-founder of Israeli cybersecurity monitoring company Hudson Rock, stated on Wednesday that the incident “will regrettably lead to a lot of hacking, targeted phishing, and doxxing.”

Gal originally reported the breach on the business-focused social networking site LinkedIn on December 24, calling it “one of the most serious leaks” he had ever seen in his whole life.

Online images of the hacker forum where the information appeared on Wednesday have been circulating.

Twitter hasn’t commented on the report given by the security researcher or responded to any posts addressing the incident.

It is unclear if the social networking site has moved to look into or resolve the problem thus yet.

Along with other information, the identity of the individuals responsible for the breach is still a mystery.

It might have happened as early as 2021, years before multimillionaire Elon Musk acquired control of the business in a $44 billion purchase last October that was met with controversy and unrest.

Early stories from December of last year said that 400 million phone numbers and e-mail addresses had been stolen. Since then, claims regarding the magnitude and scope of the breach have varied.
