Hacker wrote in thepost-Elonn Musk you buy this data from me
This hacker wrote in his post ‘Twitter and Elon Musk, if you are reading this post, then let me remind you that under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rule of the European Union Regulation, cases of data theft of 54 lakh people have been registered. I have to pay the fine. Think how much fine will be imposed if the data of 40 crore users is leaked. Buy this data from me if you want to avoid paying GDPR fines like Facebook.
