Data of 5.4 million users exposed online as Musk reveals Twitter 2.0

As Elon Musk goes gaga over Twitter 2.0 which will be the ‘Everything App’, at least 5.4 million Twitter user records, stolen via an internal bug, have been leaked online on a hacker forum.

In addition to the 5.4 million records for sale online, there were an additional 1.4 million Twitter profiles collected using a different Twitter application programming interface (API) that have reportedly been shared privately among a few people.

The massive data consists of scraped public information as well as private phone numbers and email addresses that are not meant to be public, reports Bleeping Computer.
