Well I will be requesting a download of all my Twitter data and then I will be changing my email and password in there...

And maybe make all my Tweets private too and pretty much retire that account and just use it for following people since I rarely Tweet anything anyway...

I just checked here and it seems my email was indeed among the leak... At least I wasn't caught up in the Facebook leak...

That is awful. It doesn't look like my account was leaked, for which I'm grateful, but this could be dangerous for people.

Welp, good thing I created a dedicated randomized email with no location or phone information added to sign up for it.

Thanks for posting the link. I just checked and my e-mail is safe.

I just checked the site (and archived) it, that Femina posted. I have a couple of email breaches, including the newest Twitter.

I posted the article before I shut down last night but did not even check my own. Not good.

I had not read about this before now. Partial excerpt of article:

LONDON, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Hackers stole the email addresses of more than 200 million Twitter users and posted them on an online hacking forum, a security researcher said Wednesday.

The breach “will unfortunately lead to a lot of hacking, targeted phishing and doxxing,” Alon Gal, co-founder of Israeli cybersecurity-monitoring firm Hudson Rock, wrote on LinkedIn. He called it “one of the most significant leaks I've seen.”

Twitter has not commented on the report, which Gal first posted about on social media on Dec. 24, nor responded to inquiries about the breach since that date. It was not clear what action, if any, Twitter has taken to investigate or remediate the issue.

Reuters could not independently verify the data on the forum was authentic and came from Twitter. Screenshots of the hacker forum, where the data appeared on Wednesday, have circulated online.

Troy Hunt, creator of breach-notification site Have I Been Pwned, viewed the leaked data and said on Twitter that it seemed “pretty much what it’s been described as.”

There were no clues to the identity or location of the hacker or hackers behind the breach. It may have taken place as early as 2021, which was before Elon Musk took over ownership of the company last year.

I'm permanently suspended from twitter anyway and use a crappy email address I've used for years on social media and for competitions that I don't care about anyway its the junk mail account.

OK, so now what?

ETA: I really hate when people do things like this but don't use their powers for good.
