# Data & Leads

Data breach — High

In November 2018, Data & Leads suffered a data breach. 44 million accounts were affected. The exposed data includes email addresses, employment data, connection data, names, phone numbers and postal addresses.

| Fact | Value |

| Disclosed on | November 28, 2018 |
| Incident dated | November 14, 2018 |
| Accounts affected | 44M |
| Sector | Digital services |
| Country | International or undetermined |
| Cause | Undisclosed |
| Severity | High |
| Status | Confirmed |

## Exposed data

- Email address
- Employment data
- Connection data (IP, logs)
- Full name
- Phone number
- Postal address

## What you can do

- Expect phishing attempts quoting your name and this company. A message that knows your details is not legitimate for that reason.
- You can ask the organisation exactly what was exposed about you (right of access), and complain to the DPA if no answer comes within a month.
