Apparently the guy who tweeted this works in the field of looking for data breaches and works for a company "UpGuard" that specializes in that.

Data breach hunter. Director of Cyber Risk Research at UpGuard

His company found an open server from the Canadian company AIQ, and discovered that AIQ apparently created the "data manipulation tools" and "apps" (probably those directed to Facebook users) that Cambridge Analytica used to do what they did. And the Guardian confirmed that the parent company of Cambridge Analytica also "owns" the rights to the AIQ tools.
