National Public Data admits it leaked Social Security numbers in a massive data breach


The big Social Security Number data breach is confirmed.

As reported by Bleeping Computer, dark web forum posters have advertised and shared supposedly stolen data from a breach of the company’s systems for months without a statement or response from NPD. Finally, this week, it published a Security Incident page confirming a few details but leaving many other questions unanswered. NPD says it “cooperated with law enforcement and governmental investigators and conducted a review of the potentially affected records and will try to notify you if there are further significant developments applicable to you.”
