Data circulating was stolen in an old hack

Twitter confirmed that a "new" leak of millions of members' profiles, including private phone numbers and email addresses, was actually data stolen in an older data breach the company it revealed in August.*

Twitter says its incident response team analyzed the user data leaked in November 2022 and confirms it was collected using the same vulnerability before it was fixed in January 2022.

"In November 2022, some press reports published that Twitter users' data had been allegedly leaked online," reads the update.

"As soon as we became aware of the news, Twitter's Incident Response Team compared the data in the new report to data reported by the media on 21 July 2022. The comparison determined that the exposed data was the same in both cases." - Twitter.
