2024 National Public Data breach

...

Spokeo, Whitepages, and National Public Data, which are all in the category of people search data brokers-

Mm-hmm

... which are these companies that sell like really detailed profiles about people, and it's, it's kind of like when you Google someone's names, oftentimes these are the first things that come up, and they advertise like, "You can find the criminal records of your neighbors," and-

...

so things like Experian, TransUnion, Equifax.

And then also that includes the people search data brokers that I've already touched on a little bit, so Spokeo, Whitepages, LiveRamp, National Public Data.

And then there were a couple others that we also included that we just know are kind of big names in the data brokerage industry, so like Nielsen, Acxiom, Cotality, Ventel, Unacast.

But for right now, you can sort them on the number of sizes, the type of industry, the type of data, scroll over.

And one of the biggest ones that's popping up right now is national public data.

Over a billion records lost, 2.7 billion of U.S. citizens for background checks.

Leaked on a hacking forum with name, social security numbers, physical addresses.

The biggest ones there are LinkedIn and Facebook.

Personal details and passwords.

The biggest one there is National Public Data.

Credit cards and banking.
