About This Breach
Reported fields are emails, gender, geographic locations, marital statuses, names, birth dates, passwords, and phones. Adecco is not a retail company.
The local record measure is 4,469,944, which is 185,406 above the external measure. Neither figure means unique people, candidates, employees, job applications, or profiles containing every field together. CVs, work history, skills, salary expectations, and references are not data classes in this record.
A row establishes only actual fields in the dataset. It does not establish identity, current or former Adecco candidate or employee status, work history, salary, or skills, birth-date, gender, marital-status, location, phone, or password ownership, field co-occurrence, discrimination, physical tracking, account takeover, or misuse.
Candidate status, birth dates, demographics, location, phones, and credentials must remain private. If a password is authenticated and was reused elsewhere, it should be replaced, and job offers, document, fee, or login requests quoting a correct role or candidate detail should be checked through an independently obtained official channel.
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.
