At the page List of data breaches I was told it's not a confirmed breach yet. VintageVernacular (talk) 20:50, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is real. This is not a joke! I know friends and relatives who have checked on npd.pentester.com/search and the last two digits of their ssn that weren't censored were a match! Want more proof? Look to see if your information was compromised by checking the website I mentioned. If it is there and the uncensored part of the ssn matches, then it has to be real! NPD probably can't acknowledge it because they are being sued right now. Minermatt122514 (talk) 21:59, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also the amount of records is inaccurate. People have duplicate records for various reasons such as an address change. Minermatt122514 (talk) 22:01, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I agree. But maybe @Masem: (who reverted me on the other page) could weigh in. There may be some reason not to call it confirmed yet. VintageVernacular (talk) 22:02, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They acknowledged it before their website was locked down to prevent further attacks. Here is an archived version. https://web.archive.org/web/20240816143439/https://nationalpublicdata.com/Breach.html Minermatt122514 (talk) 22:17, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
