Elon Musk, Bill Gates’ Twitter hackers had access to personal data says site

Twitter in a blog post on Saturday said that attackers who hacked 130 accounts on the site over the past week had access to their personal information. According to the post, the hackers couldn’t access previous account passwords, but in cases where the attackers took over a user’s account, they could have accessed “additional information”. “Our forensic investigation of these activities is still ongoing,” the post added.

Additionally, the company said the attackers downloaded Twitter data of users for eight of the hacked accounts. This is done through the “Your Twitter data” tool, which gives users a summary of their activity and data collected by Twitter.
