Researcher Sanyam Jain at GDI foundation discovered 8 unsecured databases, exposing approximately 60 million records of LinkedIn users.
Most of the data is publicly available on LinkedIn, so this isn’t a LinkedIn breach per se.
Records included LinkedIn public profile information, including IDs, profile URLs, work history, education history, location, listed skills, other social profiles, and the last time the profile was updated. Emails that were used for the initial account registration on LinkedIn, despite having privacy to be not available to the public, was also included.
The databases were appearing each day on a different IP address.
In total, 229 GB of data was leaked.
