Summary from the TLDR newsletter

National Public Data is a data aggregator that provides services based on the large volumes of personal information it holds. These services are used by investigators, background check websites, data resellers, mobile apps, applications, and more. The company was breached and its records started being leaked in April. The records were publicly posted last week. This article takes a look at what the data contains. There are no email addresses in the social security number files, and at least some of the data is not associated correctly.
