Marketing firm Exactis has leaked the personal information of close to 340M individuals in the US. That's pretty much almost every US citizen. Email addresses, addresses, phone numbers as well as family information like number of children, genders and much more are in this leak. This is even bigger than the Equifax leak, however, this leak doesn't include credit card numbers or social security numbers. Regardless, this has got to stop and the fact that family details are included in this leak makes it a bit more dangerous in my opinion. Time for someone to go to jail.
While the precise number of individuals included in the data isn't clear—and the leak doesn't seem to contain credit card information or Social Security numbers—it does go into minute detail for each individual listed, including phone numbers, home addresses, email addresses, and other highly personal characteristics for every name. The categories range from interests and habits to the number, age, and gender of the person's children.
