The next possible biggest breach

There’s a lot of conflicting information, especially when it comes to which particular group supposedly hacked the company to begin with.

This particular incident reminds me of the OPM breach of 2018.

• We’ve got more on this NPD databreach was written on august 11, 2024 and it links to a Bleeping Computer article. There are a lot of questions here including the exact number of people and the fact that there are conflicts within the data that was seen by the publication.
• 2.9 billion users, National public data gained data illegally is the blog post that links to the hackread article that Kim Komando linked to within her newsletter. This one talks about a lawsuit and that lawsuit deals with the fact that this company got the info illegally and orders the court to delete the illegal data.
