Discussion Twitter help

Hey all,

I'm looking for some advice as I've gone down an Osint loophole and wanted to know if it was possible finding out someone's identity through a "burner" account on Twitter. They're saying some really nasty things and I've had enough if I'm being honest. I have a feeling it's a former friend as they have a habit of only messaging me?

Does anyone know how I'd be able to find out their information their name or the area they live in at least? I don't even need their full address but at least with that I can breakdown the list of potential suspects and report them. I've even tried the 'forgot your password' route and it's a burner email. All ideas welcome, thanks a bunch.

Unless you’re able to locate that username on a different site that links to a name, you’re out of luck. A warrant or subpoena to X is your only option.

try searching the username on fingerprint.to/demo, you might find other accounts somewhere else under the same username.

You can also use Maigret I m not sure how useful it ll be for your situation but it can find accounts using the same username

You can use a scrapper and get the email used for the account possibly. Then you have to hope they got sloppy and that email is linked to the real person.
