Hackers expose over 200m Twitter email addresses
TECHDIGEST – Hackers have reportedly exposed the email addresses of more than 200 million Twitter users and posted them on an online hacking forum.
Alon Gal, co-founder of Israeli cybersecurity-monitoring firm, Hudson Rock disclosed this in a release seen by Ripples Nigeria on Friday.
The breach “will unfortunately lead to a lot of hacking, targeted phishing and doxxing”, Gal wrote.

There have been insinuations that the hack occurred before Elon Musk took control of the business last year, as the identity or location of the hacker or hackers responsible for the intrusion is unknown.
Elon Musk and other Twitter executives are yet to comment on the report, which Gal first posted about on social media on 24 December, nor have they responded to inquiries about the breach.
