Intelimost Data Breach (2019)
If you are a customer of Intelimost, here’s what’s now in circulation.
In March 2019, a spam operation known as "Intelimost" sent millions of emails appearing to come from people the recipients knew. Security researcher Bob Diachenko found over 3 million unique email addresses in an exposed Elasticsearch database, alongside plain text passwords used to access the victim's mailbox and customise the spam.

Found on people-search siteswe remove these
These listings are live, public, and legal to remove — and removing them is what we do.
Found in breach recordsverifiedreported — unverified
Each record is labeled: confirmed breach data, or an attacker’s claim no one has verified.
Leaked data cannot be deleted from the internet — anyone claiming otherwise is lying. Broker listings can be removed. We do the second, and show you exactly what to fix from the first.
For security and vendor-risk teams: a staff address in a leak does not mean you were breached — it usually means a third party was. We monitor a domain against 13.1B+ leaked records and tell you when one of your people appears. See what we would check →
