The complainant alleges that Twitter 'to this day, has inexplicably failed to notify or contact the victims of this particular API exploitation.'
New York state resident Stephen Gerber claims his personal information was among the cache of data obtained by hackers between 2021 and 2022. He sued Friday in San Francisco federal court seeking class-action status for all those whose information was leaked.
In January, an anonymous user on the hacker site BreachForums published a database that they claimed to contain basic information on hundreds of millions of Twitter users. Twitter said in a blog post that there was"no evidence that the data being sold online was obtained by exploiting a vulnerability of Twitter systems.”
Gerber claims in the complaint that Twitter"seemingly buried its head in the sand” and says the company may have tried to hide the magnitude of the leak. Gerber is seeking unspecified monetary damages, likely to exceed $5 million, and court orders requiring Twitter to hire third-party security auditors to test and audit its systems as well as to implement and maintain a security program designed to protect the confidentiality of the users.
