Twitter Hacked / The biggest hacking in Twitter, important information of 200 million users leaked, did this work happen with you?

Twitter Hacked: After taking over the throne of Elon Musk, the crisis continues on Twitter. The latest case is related to Twitter Hacked, which is considered to be the biggest burglary ever. According to the latest report, the email addresses of more than 200 million Twitter users have been allegedly stolen by hackers. Hackers have stolen this data and posted it on an online hacking forum. Even before this, at least 400 million email addresses and phone numbers were reported to have been stolen, the identity or location of the hackers is still not known.

In October last year, billionaire Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion. After this it is the biggest case of hacking. "Unfortunately there has been a massive hacking. This will lead to targeted phishing and doxing," Alon Gal, co-founder of Israeli cyber security-monitoring firm Hudson Rock, wrote on LinkedIn, Reuters reported. He called it "one of the biggest date knowledge leaks ever."

Another expert confirmed the claim

In this case, Troy Hunt, the creator of the breach-notification site Have I Been Pwned, saw the leaked data and said on Twitter that it looks like 'it is as it is told.' There was no clue to the identity or location of the hackers in that screenshot. Speculations are rife that it could be early 2021. At this time Elon Musk had not acquired Twitter.

Twitter monitoring in America and Europe

A major breach at Twitter could attract the attention of regulators on both sides of the Atlantic. The Data Protection Commission in Ireland (where Twitter has its European headquarters) and the US Federal Trade Commission are monitoring Elon Musk-owned Twitter for compliance with European data protection regulations and a US consent order, respectively.

Meanwhile, Twitter has not issued any comment on the matter even two weeks after the report claiming the hack was published. Gall posted on social media on 24 December. Twitter is believed to have taken an opaque approach in this matter. Because the micro-blogging site Twitter has not yet responded to this report.

Troy Hunt, the creator of the breach-notification site Have I Been Pwned, looked at the leaked data and said on Twitter that it "seems to be as told," as reported by news agency Reuters.
