National Public Data Breach, 2.9 Billion Records Hack
A massive data breach involving Florida-based background check company National Public Data (NPD), operating as Jericho Pictures, allegedly exposed 2.9 billion records. While the number of records exceeds the U.S. population, the stolen data includes names, address histories, and social security numbers. The data was reportedly leaked for free on the dark web by a hacker known as Phineas after initial attempts to sell it failed.
