Misattributed Flipkart Data

What Happened

In September 2022, over 500k customer records alleged to have been sourced from the Indian e-commerce service Flipkart appeared on a popular hacking forum. Flipkart subsequently reviewed the data and concluded there was minimal overlap with their subscriber base and was not sourced from their services. The data included email addresses, latitudes and longitudes, names and phone numbers.

Breach Classification

Some breaches may be flagged as "unverified". In these cases, whilst there is legitimate data within the alleged breach, it may not have been possible to establish legitimacy beyond reasonable doubt.

Unverified breaches are still included in the system because regardless of their legitimacy, they still contain personal information about individuals who want to understand their exposure on the web.
