TWITTER GOT HACKED🚨🔑👁️

twitter got hacked and leaked 200 million passwords
oh hello there.

[Kashcwinpoing]

I love how everyone collectively agreed that the name will remain Twitter and that they will never refer to it by X

[xpaiox]

oh man... so the hackers saw my bookmarks?.... im so screwed....

[TheEpicLeopardSeal]

I left Twitter a long time ago. I think it's probably the best decision I've made

[jamesverner]

Good thing I haven't used twitter since 2019

[themidnightbanshee]

Everyone who doesn't use Twitter : *shrugs*

[LuxuriantCarrot]

It doesnt seem like passwords have been leaked from what you showed on screen...

[FranCordone]

I was like “ then i remembered im functioning human that doesnt have twitter 🤺

[fatkrab]

I hope this doesnt cover deleted accs because i deleted mine a while back when elon went caca for coocoo's

NOT HAVING A TWITTER ACCOUNT PAID OFF LET'S FUCKING GO

Tomorrow: Twitter introduces a forced arbitration clause to stop people from suing them.

no twitter did not get hacked, some months ago they had a "bug" that allowed anyone to get PUBLIC user info with an email (name, username, followers & creation date) & that's just what leaked, no you do not need to change your password if you don't want to cause it isn't included in those records (they literally showed a sample of what it would look like and its only public info)

[soulslvr]

Boy! Who knew firing your security team resulted in your systems being hacked

With how Elon is running it, I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner.

[KyberCrystals]

I really doubt any passwords were leaked.
#1 I don't see passwords in the showed evidence.
#2 Theres a 99.99% chance that these passwords hashed meaning that they are not actually saved in raw text and are useless.

Elon trying to hard to make everyone call it X and people still calling it Twitter is honestly hilarious 💀

[hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

Nowhere does it state that passwords are in the leak. The most likely scenario is that this is data that was acquired via the same way as in the previous Twitter "leak", which was by scraping a Twitter API endpoint which tells you which Twitter account is connected to a specific e-mail address. The leaker probably just had a massive list of e-mail addresses that were collected from actual data leaks of other websites and then used tons of proxies to scan all those e-mail addresses.
I could obviously be completely wrong with this but given the limited data that this leak contains this is simply the most likely.

[enigmatico]

This already happened 2 years ago, I'm assuming this is old news made new again by someone who doesn't know and found out, or by someone wanting to make some big headlines.

[the_letter_]

I only use twitter on my burner gmail account (and even then I only use that for porn)

[wurtknurte]

Just checked on a website that tracks if your email has been leaked, apparently I wasn't involved in this leak but I was in two Club Penguin Rewritten leaks??? I don't even remember playing that game?

[ntjosh]

I checked the cyber security reddit and it looks like an old data leak 🗿
