New #LinkedIn Data #Leak Leaves 700 Million Users Exposed

On June 22nd, a user of a popular #hacker advertised data from 700 Million LinkedIn users for sale. The user of the forum posted up a sample of the data that includes 1 million LinkedIn users. We examined the sample and found it to contain the following information:

  • Email Addresses
  • Full names
  • Phone numbers
  • Physical addresses
  • Geolocation records
  • LinkedIn username and profile URL
  • Personal and professional experience/background
  • Genders
  • Other social media accounts and usernames

The user claims that the complete #database contains the personal #information of 700 Million LinkedIn users. Since LinkedIn has 756 million users, according to its website, this would mean that almost 93% of all LinkedIn users can be found through these records.
