About This Breach
Its four reported classes are emails, passwords, spoken languages, and usernames. A 2020 publication or addition date must not be presented as the incident date.
The local record measure is 167,877,879, a difference of 1,868,931 from the external measure. Neither figure means unique people, active members, profiles, or rows containing every field together. Password storage representation and field prevalence require authentication from the source schema.
A row establishes only actual fields in the 2016 dataset. It does not establish identity, presence in the 2015 dataset, an Adult FriendFinder account or membership, sexual orientation or conduct, spoken language or username or password ownership, field co-occurrence, account takeover, harassment, extortion, or misuse.
Adult-service, language, username, and credential associations require the strictest private handling. If a password is authenticated and was reused elsewhere, it should be replaced. If actual harassment, threats, or extortion occur, evidence should be preserved and trusted support appropriate to the circumstances should be used.
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.
