Phone Numbers

More than 5.4 million user records from Twitter were hacked and published online, RadarOnline.com has learned after Elon Musk acquired the social media giant.

The data, including phone numbers, email addresses and Twitter IDs, was released for free this month after hackers used an API vulnerability on the platform to their benefit.

The leak was first reported by BleepingComputer months after a hacker attempted to sell the information for $30,000 in July.

"If you receive an email claiming your account was suspended, there are login issues, or you are about to lose your verified status, and it prompts you to login on to a non-Twitter domain, ignore the emails and delete them as they are likely phishing attempts," the site warned.

2. They attempted to sell the info in July.

But the info was released for free this month.

When did Musk take over? In October?

But we're expected to think that the illegal and information-thieving hack was post-Musk.

July.

Misdirection as misinformation for manipulation. We know post-Musk, ergo prompter Musk.
