Description
In 2021, a significant data leak involving a database referred to as 'Unknown Leads Database' occurred. The breach encompassed over 227 million records, which allegedly contained personal information about individuals residing in the United States. The compromised data consists of first, middle, and last names, suffixes, titles, street addresses, phone numbers, birthdates, full names, email addresses, and URLs. Although initially attributed to LiveRamp (formerly Acxiom), it is believed to be a compilation of consumer leads data not directly associated with the organization.
