About This Breach
In January 2023, data sourced from Duolingo, amounting to 2.6 million records, emerged for sale and was subsequently broadly disseminated on a popular hacking forum in August 2023. Acquired through the enumeration of a vulnerable API, this dataset includes email addresses, names, languages being learned, XP (experience points), and other information related to users' learning progress on Duolingo. While certain attributes are intentionally public, the potential mapping of private email addresses to them poses an ongoing risk to user privacy.
