This confirms that vx-underground is aware of the claim, and that it likely leaked from them, but they are very explicitly not verifying the claim. It doesn't seem particularly verifiable at the moment.

That first link is not a confirmation at all....

Update 3: Confirmed fake:

seems you got a shout-out by know-your-meme :) https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/twitter-api-leak

I tried submitting this above URL just now because this link is now flagged (probably because of the domain allegedly distributing malware) but I think it got immediately shadow-banned (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41070308).

Can you fix the catbox link?

This is how I know you're at work. Catbox is blocked by many corporate firewalls because it's used for distributing malware payloads.

...congrats on the deduction?

I mean, the original screenshots do seem a bit weird, but what rule did the Twitter account break by posting it in order to be banned?

Why would they used Okta to pass such list of "protected users" to the clients? vx-undeground also mentioned that requesting the endpoint from different locations return different status codes (404 and 403).

I don't think new!Twitter is a rule-of-law, or indeed rule-of-rule, sort of place. More capricious-demands-of-Dear-Leader.

That in itself, I wouldn't read too much into either way; not particularly uncommon.
