The database belonged to a Florida company called IMDataCenter, which offers data enhancement solutions for better marketing strategies, including lead scoring and identity management.
After sending a responsible disclosure, the database restricted from public access soon after and no longer accessible.
IMDataCenter said, Data security is really important to us too and really appreciate you sharing this information with us. We are working to secure the information ASAP”.
IMDataCenter’s website states that their data library features information from various verified public and proprietary sources, covering over 260 million individuals and 130 million households. The library includes 600 million email addresses, 550 million phone numbers (with 230 million mobile), 153 million property records, 208 million deeds, and details on 75 million homeowners.
The exposure of a large amount of personal information, such as names, addresses, emails, and phone numbers, poses serious privacy and cybersecurity risks. Verified data can identify individuals and create detailed profiles, which are valuable to both marketers and criminals for activities like phishing and identity theft.
