About This Breach
In June 2019, the "world's leading provider of identity information services for professional investigation and identity verification applications," Pipl, suffered a data breach affecting 49.5 million records. The exposed data included full names, email addresses, vehicles owned, phone numbers, birthdates, and home addresses. It is believed that this data was purchased from Pipl and LexisNexis and subsequently left exposed by one of their customers. This incident highlights the importance of strong cybersecurity measures, especially in industries handling sensitive personal information, as data breaches can have widespread consequences if proper safeguards are not in place.
