Hacker offers 5.4 million Twitter account details for $30,000: Report

A Twitter security vulnerability discovered in early 2022 has been used to cull the account details of 5.4 million users, and the hacker is offering the set for sale for $30,000, says a new report.

According to AppleInsider, a hack of 5.4 million users is small compared to the 478 million T-Mobile customers affected in August 2021. It is even small compared to the 70 million users of AT&T affected later that same month.

Yet, according to Restore Privacy, the hacked data now on sale comes from a vulnerability that was reported in January 2022.
