1.3M Clubhouse Users’ Data Dumped in Hacker Forum for Free
2021-04-12 20:18

An SQL file containing the personal data of 1.3 million Clubhouse users has been posted in a hacker forum for free.

The CyberNews team added that the SQL file posted in the hacker forum only has Clubhouse-related information and doesn't include "Sensitive data like credit-card details or legal documents."

In the past two weeks, 533 million Facebook users' data was leaked, LinkedIn saw scraping of 500 million people's data and now Clubhouse has given up the information on another 1.3 million people.

To view the LinkedIn user data file in the hacker forum, it costs $2 worth of forum credits.

"We have investigated an alleged set of LinkedIn data that has been posted for sale and have determined that it is actually an aggregation of data from a number of websites and companies" that includes "Publicly viewable member-profile data that appears to have been scraped from LinkedIn," the company said in a statement.

CyberNews offers a personal data leak checker to help users figure out if their data was compromised.
