About This Breach

The production email-only job processed 309,809 valid rows and created the same number of unique email associations. These measures are different and are not added together.

What was verified about the event?

The verified external narrative says 13GB of code, configuration, and data was exposed and that the personal dataset contained names, phones, IP addresses, and bcrypt password hashes. Its structured class list additionally includes employer and occupation fields. The independent report linked by the record describes the event and data-publication claim; no public first-party incident notice, regulator record, initial access method, actor, or exact access duration was found.

Jukin Media's current official site confirms a service that licenses user-generated video. The site supports organization and service identity; it is not an incident notice that independently establishes the October 2021 event, the 13GB value, or the personal-data scope.

Which data types are in scope?

The verified external classes are email addresses, employers, IP addresses, names, occupations, passwords, and phone numbers. Passwords are described as bcrypt hashes; plaintext password exposure has not been established. No field should be assumed to occur for every email record or to belong to the same person.

Payment cards, bank accounts, physical addresses, government IDs, content-royalty income, private messages, and video-file ownership are not verified personal-data classes. An email match does not by itself prove that a person was a creator, employee, customer, license holder, or member of a particular occupation.

Why do the external and local scopes differ?

The 314,290 value is the external dataset's unique-email measure. The local job and live index contain 309,809 unique email associations, 4,481 below the external measure. Because dataset version and deduplication details have not been reconciled, the cause of the difference is not assigned.

The local import contains email only. Employer, IP, name, occupation, password-hash, and phone fields verified by the external source are not locally stored fields from this job. If a password used in 2021 remains reused elsewhere, that copy can be replaced with a unique password; unexpected licensing or payment requests can be verified through a separate known 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.
