Data from about 400 million users have been hacked from Twitter's data store. A hacker has put this personal data up for sale on the dark web. Accounts of many high-profile people such as Bollywood actor Salman Khan, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and former US President Donald Trump are also included whose data has been hacked.
Israeli cyber intelligence company Hudson Rock has claimed this in a report. The company says that the data being sold on the dark web includes users' e-mails, names, usernames, followers, and in some cases even phone numbers.
Personal details of high-profile people on a hacker forum
The hacker posted a sample of the stolen data on a hacker forum. In this, he has indicated what kind of data he has. Some of the high-profile people whose data has been compromised are-
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, an American politician
Space X, Elon Musk's company
CBS Media, an American company
Donald Trump Jr., son of former US President
Doja Cat, an American singer
Charlie Puth, an American singer

Hacker wrote in the post- Elon Musk you buy this data from me
This hacker wrote in his post 'Twitter and Elon Musk, if you are reading this post, then let me remind you that under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rule of the European Union Regulation, cases of data theft of 54 lakh people have been registered. I have to pay the fine. Think how much fine will be imposed if the data of 40 crore users is leaked. If you want to avoid paying GDPR fines like Facebook then buy this data from me.
The hacker further said that if this deal is done through a middleman then he will not have any problem. This post will be deleted once this deal is done and no attempt will be made to resell this data. If this data is sold to anyone then things like fraud, and sim swapping with many celebrities and politicians will happen which will further reduce the trust of your users in you.
