This data includes both public information and phone numbers with email addresses that should not be made public. The vulnerability that led to the leak already solved. It allowed anyone to come up with a unique Twitter ID (almost equivalent to getting the account username) from a phone number/email address without any authentication, even if the user had this action disabled in their privacy settings.
The leak became known in August last year. At first, it offered the hacker an archive containing the collected data. 30,000 dollars (though two buyers were reported paying less than this amount), but even then, experts cautioned that the data will likely be released for free in the future. The predictions came true.
The editors of Bleeping Computer reviewed a data sample from France containing 1,377,132 phone numbers. Journalists confirmed phone numbers are valid.
Bleeping Computer warns that another, even larger data dump was created using the vulnerability in question. may contain information about tens of millions of profiles Twitter includes phone numbers (collected using the same API bug) and public information: verified status, account names, Twitter ID, bio, and display name.
Pompompurin said he does not know who created this new dump, which proves that the API vulnerability in question was exploited by other attackers.
