A self-proclaimed data enthusiast calling themselves ‘ThinkingOne’ has made a huge database containing 201 million pieces of user data from X freely available. The data is said to have come from two previous leaks and includes email addresses, locations and profile data of users of the social media platform.

He sent his tech bros in to fix the database. Now they’ll use the same skills to fix the SS databases.
I still can’t believe Xerox still has that many users
Thoughts and prayers
lol
Anyone know where these files where originally posted?
I would like to know this too but all I see is many variations of the same joke in this comment section.
I was just about to ask. I know that there was a clearnet site for data breaches but that’s since been taken by the DOJ.
I imagine there’s an onion site but my onion experience is very little to know where to even begin to look. My searches on torch found very little.
You mean “Have I been pwned”?
No that’s for checking if your data has been breached. I want the full data set.
Quick everyone do their banking on it!
lmaoooo
So what is that, like 6 or 7 people?
A sock for every puppet.
If it had happened now, that figure might be accurate. However, this was originally exploited in 2022, so it’s probably pretty bad.
It also includes the people that deleted their Twitter accounts following the acquisition. I’m one of those people and I’m especially annoyed because I only used that blasted app only to register to some giveaways when I was in middle school. I have since discontinued that email account, but still.
That’s like, 400 actual non-bot accounts. Nobody is safe anymore!
Or this could be publicity stunt “look how many users we have, many users, beutifull users like never before, nobody knew how many users as there”.
In July 2022, Twitter confirmed that someone had exploited the vulnerability before it could be fixed. “After reviewing a sample of the data offered for sale, we confirmed that a malicious party had taken advantage of the problem before it was addressed,” Twitter stated at the time.
lol
Massive X data leak affects over 200 million products.
FTFY.
Massive X data leak affects over 200 million bots.
Someone should check the email and phone number of Adrian Dittman to see if they match Elon’s. Idiots can argue that it isn’t Elon despite speech pattern evidence, but it’s harder to argue when both of them share the same identifying info.
i am pretty sure Dittman is a real person https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/05/bad-news-for-adrian-dittman-elon-musk-truthers/
Yeah, I know there was a story in that Spectator magazine. I’m still not sold. Dittman said way too many stupid things that point to him being Elon.
I thought he fessed up to that
Who is/was Adrian Dittman? Out of the loop of Twitter drama.
Someone Musk made up to simply glaze himself on twitter.
So his version of HitlerPig’s John Baron?
this leak has proven in the past to be fatally dangerous to anonymous activists fighting tyrant governments all around the world. let’s hope it does not fall into the wrong hands
Imagine being stupid enough to use x.com for your activism 🙄
It fell into the wrong hands 3 years ago. If those people failed to recognize the danger they put themselves in by continuing to use the platform they are shit out of luck cause Musk will never take responsibility.
If you use anything but TOR together with spoofed VPNs for “activism” against a government that would jail/kill you, you are being reckless.
If you use X for your activism, you’re not an activist you’re a fed honeypot.
It’s not realistic to expect your average civic minded person to also have such operational securitt. Instead the bad actors who threaten them should found, exposed, dismantled, persecuted with extreme prejudice
This is why I gtfo when Elon took over. I knew something like this would happen.
Exactly this. We knew that everything would get shaky after he fired all those people and a data leak is the consequence
