Allegations surfaced on Breach Forums that a purported insider exfiltrated roughly 400GB of Twitter (X) profile metadata impacting up to 2.87 billion records; the dataset reportedly contains user IDs, bios, follower counts, timestamps and other profile metadata (no email addresses in the 2025 dataset), and was later merged with a 2023 breach that did include emails — the claim is unconfirmed and X has not publicly responded.
