Twitter Inc. was sued over an alleged data leak that may have exposed the information of more than 200 million users but which the company denied was caused by a flaw in its system.
New York state resident Stephen Gerber claims his personal information was among the cache of data obtained by hackers between 2021 and 2022. He sued Friday in San Francisco federal court seeking class-action status for all those whose information was leaked.
