X, formerly known as Twitter, has been making headlines recently, with Elon Musk claiming that hackers have been trying to disrupt the platform. However, the most recent news involving the social media site is particularly alarming and puts its users at serious risk. 

Earlier this month, reports emerged of a major data breach involving X, after a self-proclaimed data enthusiast known as "ThinkingOne" claimed to have released a database containing over 200 million user records on a popular hacker forum.
