On LinkedIn, Mr. Alon Gal – co-founder of Hudson Rock company – said: “The breach unfortunately led to a series of cyberattacks. This is probably one of the biggest leaks I’ve seen. ever seen”.

Twitter has not yet commented on the information, which Gal first mentioned on the social network on December 24. And it is not clear if Twitter has taken any action related to the incident, such as investigating or fixing the problem.

Meanwhile, Mr. Troy Hunt – founder of the site Have I Been Pwned – said he had seen the leaked data and said “it seems the problem is quite large as described”.
