Massive X data leak affects over 200 million bots.
Fucking heros
Thoughts and prayers
lmaoooo
this leak has proven in the past to be fatally dangerous to anonymous activists fighting tyrant governments all around the world. let's hope it does not fall into the wrong hands
If you use anything but TOR together with spoofed VPNs for "activism" against a government that would jail/kill you, you are being reckless.
If you use X for your activism, you're not an activist you're a fed honeypot.
It's not realistic to expect your average civic minded person to also have such operational securitt. Instead the bad actors who threaten them should found, exposed, dismantled, persecuted with extreme prejudice
Imagine being stupid enough to use x.com for your activism 🙄
It fell into the wrong hands 3 years ago. If those people failed to recognize the danger they put themselves in by continuing to use the platform they are shit out of luck cause Musk will never take responsibility.
He sent his tech bros in to fix the database. Now they'll use the same skills to fix the SS databases.
lol
This is why I gtfo when Elon took over. I knew something like this would happen.
Exactly this. We knew that everything would get shaky after he fired all those people and a data leak is the consequence
Someone should check the email and phone number of Adrian Dittman to see if they match Elon's. Idiots can argue that it isn't Elon despite speech pattern evidence, but it's harder to argue when both of them share the same identifying info.
i am pretty sure Dittman is a real person https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/05/bad-news-for-adrian-dittman-elon-musk-truthers/
Yeah, I know there was a story in that Spectator magazine. I'm still not sold. Dittman said way too many stupid things that point to him being Elon.
I thought he fessed up to that
Who is/was Adrian Dittman? Out of the loop of Twitter drama.
Someone Musk made up to simply glaze himself on twitter.
So his version of HitlerPig's John Baron?
Or this could be publicity stunt "look how many users we have, many users, beutifull users like never before, nobody knew how many users as there".
