Massive data leak exposes 700 million LinkedIn users’ information
Fortune
Personal data for 700 million LinkedIn users—nearly 93% of the company’s members—has been put up for sale online.
Hackers have already posted a sample of the data, which included information for 1 million users, according to a report on RestorePrivacy.
The data appears to be recent, with samples from 2020 and 2021, according to the report. In a statement to Fortune, a LinkedIn spokesperson disputes this, saying, "We’ve investigated, and there is no evidence that this is new data or that the data is from 2020 and 2021."
The price for that enormous collection of data? $5,000.
