A self-proclaimed data enthusiast calling themselves ‘ThinkingOne’ has made a huge database containing 201 million pieces of user data from X freely available. The data is said to have come from two previous leaks and includes email addresses, locations and profile data of users of the social media platform.
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
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.
Imagine being stupid enough to use x.com for your activism 🙄
