May saw the data of hundreds of millions of LinkedIn and Myspace users leaked by hackers. Now, the same is happening to Twitter — with the same people reportedly responsible.
A Russian hacker, who goes by the name Tessa88, claimed on Tuesday to be in possession of a cache containing email addresses, passwords and usernames of 379 million Twitter accounts, reports ZDNet. On Wednesday, LeakedSource claimed that the real number of accounts was just under 33 million. That’s more than 10 percent of Twitter’s monthly active users.
