Life360 Data Breach (2024)

If you are a customer of Life360, here’s what’s now in circulation.

In July 2024, data scraped from a misconfigured Life360 API was posted online after being obtained several months earlier. The records included 443k unique email addresses and in most cases, corresponding names and phone numbers (some records were null or obfuscated). Life360 promptly notified impacted users after the incident was discovered.

On March 1, 2024, Life360 appeared in a public breach notification after data scraped from a misconfigured company API several months earlier was posted online. The incident exposed records belonging to 443,000 unique users, including email addresses, names, and phone numbers. Anyone whose family uses the popular location-sharing app should assume their contact details are now circulating beyond the company’s control.

You can’t unleak data. You can take away what it’s worth.

A leaked record is where it starts, not where it ends. What turns it into your front door is the look-up sites publishing your address beside your name — and those are what an AI reads when somebody asks about you. The free scan shows you both. We write to 580 companies.

Primary Disclosure Details

The listing on Have I Been Pwned states that in July 2024 the scraped dataset was published after being obtained months prior. It contains 443K unique email addresses, with most records also listing corresponding names and phone numbers; some fields were null or obfuscated. Life360 discovered the exposure, took steps to secure the API, and promptly notified impacted users. The disclosure does not specify the exact date the data was first scraped or the precise method used to access the misconfigured endpoint.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

Email addresses, names, and phone numbers are the foundational pieces attackers need to impersonate you, reset passwords on other accounts, or launch convincing phishing campaigns against your household. Because Life360 is designed for families tracking children’s locations, the exposed records often tie directly to parents, kids, and shared devices. Once these details leave the company’s systems, they can be sold, traded, or combined with other leaks to build persistent profiles that follow you for years.

The breach is a concrete reminder that even well-known consumer apps can leave sensitive personal data exposed through simple configuration errors. For ordinary families relying on the app for peace of mind, the real cost appears later when unexpected spam calls, identity-theft attempts, or targeted scams begin.
