  3. At least a billion will be traced to a handful of botnets.

  4. It’s a good thing the person responsible hasn’t recently been given access to the US government’s data

  6. Let’s just state some facts:
    1. Elon Musk is a huge bitch.
    2. He’s a bitch

    Fuck that guy 

  7. I don’t understand. What does it mean for a twitter ID to leak?

  8. Reverse Robin Hood: steals from the poor and gives to himself.

  9. theres no way theres that many people that have signed up to twitter. how many are bot accounts?

  11. Never having made a twitter account is the gift that keeps on giving

  12. I’m gonna come clean before you all eventually find out.

    I have an X account.

    I’m following one account, Unreal Engine.

    There are 2 bot accounts following me.

    I’ve only posted once. It was “first tweet” back on March 24, 2014.

    I shall now walk out in shame.

  13. JFC how did they exfiltrate 34gb of data without Twitter noticing?

    Serious cybersecurity failure there.

  14. Is that 2.6 billion bots and 200 million people? Even that seems generous..

  16. Don’t worry. I’m sure he’ll investigate and clear himself.

  17. I’m still baffled as to why anyone still uses Twitter.

  18. The article says data includes full name, location, email address, associated user ID, and some other minor stuff. So it’s a great little treasure trove for spammers. 

  22. LOL, not mine. Deleted myself from that Nazi hellhole after F.Elon bought it.

    *War Games* taught me that the only way to win is to not play the game.

  24. Sounds like Elon shouldn’t be in charge of our private data if he can’t even manage his businesses security properly.

    This is fucking pathetic and Republicans should be pissed too.

  25. And tomorrow we’ll have the AG saying that the FBI will be investigating it as a domestic terrorism case.

  29. This is the man who has all of your sensitive government data stored somewhere with DOGE.

  30. So sorry. American told me to use this one: Thought and prayer. From a Canadian.

  31. You Americans should probably let the owner of this company have unfettered access to your tax, banking, health and social security information.
