A data breach allegedly perpetrated by a disgruntile employee during a period of mass layoffs at Twitter may have resulted in the leakage of profile metadata from up to 2.87 billion users. While the breach does not contain email addresses, the merged dataset from the 2025 leak combined with a previous 2023 leak does, enabling potential phishing attacks and privacy violations. The lack of an official response from Twitter raises concerns about the extent of compromised user data and corporate accountability.
