It wouldn't surprise me to know that the suppliers of such data onto the black market "could" be any of those former employees that were dismissed unfairly, and are trying to get back at Musk the Hard way in spite having other avenues to voice their displeasure like suing the company...Before this gets worse, Musk should step down as CEO and let some else be the face of the company.

400 million Twitter users’ data containing private emails and linked phone numbers have reportedly been up for sale on the black market.
This is more serious than I thought it was.Or individuals should stop using phone numbers and emails as 2fa and centralized exchanges.
No one can track you if you use privacy coins.

The fact that it is not only the email but also the phone-numbers of the people are allegedly for sale means the possible buyer could have the chance not only to go for a classic fishing campaign but also more elaborate kinds of attacks like SIM-swap or even go as far as de-anonymize those who are deemed "rich enough" in order to get them to pay through extortion.
I hope this ends up being false, but just in case, I recommend anyone reading this to treat your Twitter-linked phone number as compromised and delete it as 2FA on your exchanges and bank accounts, as soon as possible until this gets confirmed or debunked officially.
Merry Christmas

So another day another hack / data dump.

This one is just more impressive due to its size. And with everyone tweeting about every crypto things I am sure there is a ton of good data about people BTC use and everything else.
Lots of good targeted spam / scams / attacks coming against people who were tweeting about their crypto holdings and use.
