Security record
What public security catalogs list for LinkedIn, in their words.
Data breaches
- LinkedIn Scraped Data (2021) 125,698,496 accounts Education levels; Email addresses; Genders; Geographic locations; Job titles; Names; Social media profiles
During the first half of 2021, LinkedIn was targeted by attackers who scraped data from hundreds of millions of public profiles and later sold them online. Whilst the scraping did not constitute a data breach nor did it access any personal data not intended to be publicly accessible, the data was still monetised and later broadly circulated in hacking circles. The scraped data contains approximately 400M records with 125M unique email addresses, as well as names, geographic locations, genders and job titles. LinkedIn specifically addresses the incident in their post on An update on report of scraped data.
Have I Been Pwned · evidence - LinkedIn 164,611,595 accounts Email addresses; Passwords
In May 2016, LinkedIn had 164 million email addresses and passwords exposed. Originally hacked in 2012, the data remained out of sight until being offered for sale on a dark market site 4 years later. The passwords in the breach were stored as SHA1 hashes without salt, the vast majority of which were quickly cracked in the days following the release of the data.
Have I Been Pwned · evidence
Breach data from Have I Been Pwned (CC BY 4.0), which calls every entry a breach, including data scraped from public pages.
