Data Breach Aftermath: Background Check Company Exposed 29 Billion Records
Personal Information Compromised
In a recent class-action lawsuit filed in the US District Court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a shocking revelation has emerged: a massive data breach has compromised the personal information of approximately 29 billion individuals.
The lawsuit alleges that the breach occurred at National Public Data, a background check company, exposing a database containing sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, addresses, and dates of birth.
Background of the Breach
The lawsuit claims that the data breach occurred due to inadequate security measures at National Public Data. Hackers were able to access and steal the vast database, potentially putting billions of people at risk of identity theft and fraud.
This incident marks one of the largest data breaches in history, surpassing the recent breaches at ATT and Ticketmaster.
