Politicians and celebrities are said to be affected but the scale of the data breach is unverified.

Cyber-crime intelligence company Hudson Rock says it was the first to raise the alarm about the data sale.

The data did not appear to have been copied from an earlier breach in which details were published from 5.4 million Twitter accounts, Mr Gal said. Also, Mr Gal noted: "The hacker aims to sell the database through an escrow service that is offered on a cyber-crime forum. Typically this is only done for real offerings."

Twitter fixed the weakness in the system in 2022.
