Twitter: check if your email address is among the 200 million leaked
Over 200 million email addresses were copied from Twitter in early 2023. News of the leak broke when the email addressed turned up in a hacking forum.

Active Twitter users and those who signed up for the messaging service in the past, but have not used the service actively for some time, may want to know whether their email address was included in the leak.

The data appears to have been obtained in 2021. The malicious actor abused an API that allowed "email addresses to be resolved to Twitter profiles".

The popular Have I Been Pwned website added the over 200 million email addresses to its database. Any user may check if a particular email address was included in the leak.

To check, simply visit the website linked above and enter the email address that you want to check.
