About This Breach
Incident method, team communications, tournaments, Discord, in-game assets, or payment data cannot be inferred from these three classes.
The local record measure is 109,530, which is 15 above the external account measure. October 1 is a month marker, not a proven access day. Neither figure means unique people, active forum members, or rows containing every field together.
A row establishes only actual email, username, or password values in the dataset. It does not establish identity, a 9Lives account, player or community role, that a nickname on another site belongs to the same person, password ownership or currentness, field co-occurrence, account takeover, or misuse.
If the password field is authenticated and the old password was reused elsewhere, it should be replaced with a unique password. Username and forum associations must remain private, and a matching nickname or correct profile detail is not enough to authenticate a sender.
Verification and editorial method
LeakData compares the incident name, date, affected-record count, and exposed data types with accessible sources. Unverified fields are not presented as facts, and records are updated when new evidence becomes available.
