In a startling revelation, cybersecurity analysts from CyberPress have identified one of the largest data breaches in recent history, exposing sensitive information of ex-Twitter users.

The leaked data includes email addresses, user names, and X account details, potentially exposing individuals to phishing attacks and identity theft.
