🔓 200M X (Twitter) user records leaked in a 34GB free-for-all—again.

Data enthusiast “ThinkingOne” released the files after allegedly failing to get a response from X. The breach combines:
・Data from a 2022 vulnerability X previously downplayed
・January 2025 breach data
・A total of 2.8 billion records spanning X user IDs, emails, bios, locations & more

X continues to deny its systems were the direct source of the leak. But researchers confirm much of the data is real—and the scale is unmatched.

💡 The kicker? ThinkingOne believes this might’ve required internal access, or an attack of unprecedented sophistication.

Even without passwords, this treasure trove fuels phishing, impersonation, and targeted disinformation.

“On Wednesday we shared that we’re introducing a new Terms of Use (TOU) and #PrivacyNotice for #Firefox. Since then, we’ve been listening to some of our community’s concerns with parts of the #TOU, specifically about licensing. Our intent was just to be as clear as possible about how we make Firefox work, but in doing so we also created some confusion and concern. With that in mind, we’re updating the language to more clearly reflect the limited scope of how Mozilla interacts with #UserData.

Here’s what the new language will say:” — Ajit “CockWomble” Varma
