But this is not the "About this account" tab, which doesn't expose your city, email, or device type. It looks like a document on a pastebin-style service (it has voting and report options, number of views, etc.). So how did they get the additional info?

I mean, data leaks have happened on Twitter. So, I'd assume they just acquired that data from the leaked information.

You used to be able to just google and find this kind of stuff. E.g. here you might google that username and find this other document. Of course it doesn’t mean that the author of that document is in fact the same user, like you say someone else could have planted that document to make the OP look bad.

Thanks. I was not aware of this.
