NBC 8/15/24: Nearly 3 billion unencrypted records containing personal data of people living in the U.S., Canada and U.K. may have been leaked, according to a class action lawsuit filed in Florida.
The complaint stated that National Public Data — a Florida-based data broker company owned by Jerico Pictures, Inc. that conducts background checks — was breached in April, revealing people's full names, current and past addresses and Social Security Numbers, as well as data tied to living and deceased family members.
NPD obtains its data by scraping the personally identifiable information of billions of individuals from non-public sources. This means that those affected may not have knowingly provided their data to the company, according to the suit.
It is unlikely that the breach impacted as many as 3 billion people because each address an individual has lived at will generate a separate record.
The data first appeared on April 8, when hacking group USDoD posted a database on "Breached," a dark web forum, and claimed to have 2.9 billion rows of unencrypted records. They put it up for sale for $3.5 million.
"We reviewed the massive file – 277.1GB uncompressed, and can confirm the data present in it is real and accurate," malware source code collector @vx-underground posted on X.
The "full NPD database" became public on Aug. 6 when a user named "Fenice" leaked about 2.7 billion records on the same forum, according to cybersecurity news website BleepingComputer.
"Fenice" attributed the hack to an individual operating under the moniker "SXUL," which was also confirmed by @vx-underground on X.
