About This Record

December 17 is a circulation or catalogue date and must not be presented as the initial attack date.

The two classes are emails and password hashes. A SHA-1 hash is not a plaintext password; salt use, field prevalence, whether any particular hash was cracked, password currentness, and reuse are unknown at person level. Names, phones, physical addresses, payments, government IDs, cases, legal questions, forum content, and attorney-client communications are not classes.

A match can establish only that an email occurs in the local subset associated with Avvo. It does not establish identity, an Avvo account, attorney or client status, a legal matter or interest, password ownership, field co-occurrence, account takeover, or misuse. If the old password genuinely belonged to the person and was reused elsewhere, it should be replaced; legal-service or account alerts should be verified through an independent 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.
