.Twitter sued over alleged hack that may have left over 200 million exposed
Plaintiff Stephen Gerber alleges his personal data was buried in the trove that hackers claim to have amassed between 2021 and 2022. He is seeking damages and a third-party review in his filing against the social media giant.
A self-described hacker claimed to have leaked a slew of data, such as email addresses and other user information, to a hacker forum for sale. Notably, the purported leak did not appear to have passwords, Internet Protocol addresses, physical addresses, or phone numbers. "Based on information and intel analyzed to investigate the issue, there is no evidence that the data being sold online was obtained by exploiting a vulnerability of Twitter systems. The data is likely a collection of data already publicly available online through different sources," the company said.
