Pipl would like to acknowledge the incident involving data sourced from our index.
On June 18, 2019, an internet security researcher noted that approximately 188 million records containing personal information had appeared on a publicly accessible MongoDB database.
These records, which contained data collected from publicly accessible sources, originated from Pipl and were exposed by a former customer.
Access to these exposed records was shut down on July 3, 2019.
Pipl’s databases, indices, and systems were not breached.
