Upon analysis of the data, Cyble discovered that there are 500K+ lines of records containing prominent user profiles. The information contains email IDs, password hashes, addresses, etc.

At Cyble, we have promptly informed our clients about this alleged leak so that they can act on it. This leak is particularly important as it contains corporate email IDs. If the credentials are obtained by bad actors, there could be malicious use of the same in various ways such as business email compromise.
