About This Breach
The listed fields are authentication tokens, dates of birth, email addresses, gender information, names, phone numbers, and usernames; passwords are not listed.
Authentication tokens matter for session security, while birth dates, phone numbers, and profile data add targeted-phishing and user-linking risks. A password leak should not be assumed because passwords are not listed.
A match means that the queried email address or username corresponds to a listed field; it does not prove that every field was exposed for the same person. Close active sessions, rotate tokens where possible, review privacy settings, and verify unexpected verification requests through official channels.
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.
