Twitter failed to safeguard the personal data of 200 million users.
Your Private Information May Have Been Shared Without Your Consent.
Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP, a national leader in data breach and privacy litigation, has filed a lawsuit against Twitter Inc. (now known as X) following a cybersecurity incident involving sensitive personal information.
Twitter is one of the world’s largest social media platforms, used by hundreds millions of people worldwide.
The lawsuit alleges that Twitter suffered a massive data breach, impacting 200 million user accounts. The breach, first detected in January 2022, allegedly enabled attackers to link private email addresses or phone numbers with user IDs and other profile information on a large scale. The exposed data was later released on the dark web, deanonymizing Twitter accounts and increasing the risk of phishing, impersonation, and targeted scams—without users’ consent.
Impacted Data May Include:
- Email Addresses
- Phone Numbers
- User IDs
- Public Profile Information
- Follower and Following Counts
- Profile Photos
- Geographical Location Data
Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against Twitter. By allowing email addresses and phone numbers to be linked to user IDs, anonymous accounts have been made public, and the risk of phishing, fraud, and identity-based scams significantly increases. Our suit seeks to hold Twitter accountable and secure compensation for affected class members.
