National Public Data breach exposes billions of personal records – what you need to know
National Public Data confirmed the breach and exposure of sensitive information, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, and mailing addresses on the dark web. National Public Data’s sister site published its own passwords after an archive was left openly accessible exposing internal login credentials, including the owner's login credentials, granting access to the already leaked information. With a LifeLock membership, we’ve got your back with the tools you need to address this and future data breaches.
Update: As of August 2025, National Public Data has returned under new ownership and is once again operating as a public data broker. Learn more about how to opt out of data broker sites like National Public Data to reduce exposure of your personal information and help protect your privacy.
What happened?
The National Public Data breach was a major security incident where unauthorized individuals gained access to a vast database, containing personal information.
According to a post from a cybersecurity expert on X, formerly Twitter, a hacker group that calls themselves USDoD claims to be selling the 2.9 billion records for citizens of the U.S., U.K., and Canada on the dark web for $3.5 million. National Public Data suspects the breach contains critical personal information, including social security numbers.
National Public Data's response
National Public Data has collaborated with law enforcement and governmental investigators to review the potentially affected records. They will provide updates if any significant developments arise that are applicable. National Public Data claims they have strengthened their security measures to help prevent similar breaches in the future and to better protect their systems.
How to protect yourself after the National Public Data breach
This data breach is an unfriendly reminder that your personal information is out of your control. It’s crucial to take steps to safeguard your personal information. Here are some practical tips:
- Monitor your accounts: Regularly check bank statements and credit reports for any unauthorized activity.
- Use strong, unique passwords: Avoid using the same password across multiple sites and opt for complex combinations of letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Enable two-factor authentication: This adds an extra layer of security to your accounts, making it harder for attackers to gain access.
- Be wary of phishing scams: Don’t click on suspicious links or provide personal information in response to unexpected emails.
- Keep software up to date: Ensure that your operating system and applications are updated regularly to protect against known vulnerabilities.
- Sign up for identity protection: LifeLock is a leader in identity theft protection and offers comprehensive services to help you take proactive steps after a data breach.
What to do if impacted by the National Public Data breach
If you suspect that your information has been compromised, take immediate action:
- Contact your bank and creditors to inform them of the potential breach and monitor your accounts closely.
- Place a fraud alert on your credit report to warn creditors of potential identity theft.
- Freeze your credit to prevent new accounts from being opened in your name.
- File a report with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for identity theft if your identity has been stolen.
- Stay informed by keeping up with communications from National Public Data and other relevant authorities regarding the breach.
