      The fake accounts that most resemble real people reveal a kind of mass social identity theft. At least 55,000 of the accounts use the names, profile pictures, hometowns and other personal details of real Twitter users, including minors.http://nyti.ms/2By9MQy

          Hi! Out of curiosity, how were the accounts that made use of the service outed? Was it through court documents or a leak?

          It often seems like these are accounts that were abandoned by the original users and then hacked and taken over.
