The alleged data dump is being sold by a threat actor named 'Ryushi' on the Breached hacking forum, a site commonly used to sell user data stolen in data breaches.

The threat actor claimed to have collected the data of 400+ million unique Twitter users using a vulnerability. They warned Elon Musk and Twitter that they should purchase the data before it leads to a large fine under Europe's GDPR privacy law.

"Twitter or Elon Musk if you are reading this you are already risking a GDPR fine over 5.4m breach imaging the fine of 400m users breach source," wrote Ryushi in a forum post...

8. Not sure what private data they're referring to. Dont

4. No, but none of Morgan's original tweets have been restored yet.

It's currently showing a message that Piers Morgan hasn't tweeted yet. The hacker was apparently posting some of Morgan's DMs, too.

…when the hacker posted a one-word tweet (the “n-word”), and all the comments were about how Piers must have gotten his account back.

7. Piers Morgan

expressed insane ideas on social media long before the hacker came along.
