Twitter faces investigation in Ireland over data breach
Ireland’s Data Protection Commission on Friday opened a probe into Twitter over a data breach that has reportedly affected more than 5 million users.
The opening of the investigation comes after the data of millions of Twitter users appeared online in late November.
Twitter confirmed in August that hackers had exploited a vulnerability in its system — since fixed — to obtain profiles linked to phone numbers and emails, and vice versa.
