About This Breach
The 400GB value describes the claimed broader dump.
A public breach source says it selected 189GB of PST mail folders from the torrent-posted data and catalogued 32,310 unique emails with the classes email addresses and email messages. The 400GB broader dump, 189GB selected mail source, and 32,310 unique-email count are different measures; none is a count of people, employees, customers, targets, messages, mailboxes, or local rows.
There is no local import job, source file, or searchable email or message data. The record cannot determine whether an address was a sender, recipient, copied party, forwarded or mailing-list address, signature or body reference, or another third party; it cannot establish identity, employment, customer, vendor, partner, or target status, political or professional affiliation, knowledge of a message, responsibility, compromise, or misuse.
Message bodies, subjects, attachments, relationship graphs, third-party addresses, and surveillance associations must not be imported or publicly exposed. Correct historical details do not authenticate new contact; unexpected requests or attachments should be verified through an independent channel. The two normalized classes in this record do not prove other fields were absent from the broader dump.
