million Twitter log-ins. Moreover, the amazing part of the news is that
hacker also claimed that the accounts were not even hacked.
Login credentials of more than 32 million twitter accounts are
being sold on the dark web for 10 Bitcoins which is over $5,800 by
the Seller whose name isTessa88 and it was the same hacker who was
found selling 1 million VK user IDs and passwords on dark web.
According to LeakedSource, a security firm says that the twitter
ids and passwords are being traded on dark web forums and they also mentioned
that about 32,888,300 records containing email addresses,
usernames and passwords have been leaked
LeakedSource also mentioned that they had very strong evidence
that Twitter was not hacked, but the leaked credentials are real and valid. “We
have very strong evidence that Twitter was not hacked, rather the consumer was.
These credentials, however, are real and valid. Out of 15 users we asked, all
15 verified their passwords.”
Michael Coates, the trust and information Security officer at
twitter, tweeted that they have investigated the report based on dark web, and
they are confident that twitter has not been breached.
According to
LeakedSource, the data leak was because of malware “The explanation for this is that tens
of millions of people have become infected by malware, and the malware sent
every saved username and password from browsers like Chrome and Firefox back to
the hackers from all websites including Twitter.”
The users are recommended to change their passwords for all social media sites as many
hacking attempts are noticed in recent times, So it’s better to change the
