Twitter data dump: 200m+ account database now free to download
While the leaked data does not include users' phone numbers, physical addresses or passwords, it still poses a risk to the exposed account owners, Zoltan said.
"Privacy Affairs cybersecurity experts reviewed the published data and believe this latest leak could lead to social engineering attacks and doxxing." The leaked email addresses linked to Twitter accounts can be combined with other publicly available information to determine users' real-life identity and locations. Plus, phishing emails continue to provide a successful entry point for criminals — andOf course, the published email addresses can also be used by spammers or scam markers, and all they need to do is convince one victim to click on a malicious link.
While this week's data dump contains fewer accounts, it could prove to be more serious because the crooks are giving away the full database for free, researchers warned. "It is not certain at this moment how exactly this data was obtained," Zoltan noted."The most likely method used could have been the abuse of an application programming interface vulnerability."Twitter said it fixed last year. ®
