A security investigator recognized eight indiscreet databases that held about 60 million records of LinkedIn user information.
GDI Foundation, where the security investigator is from, is a not-for-profit association with a task to protect the free and open Internet by trying to make it safer. The researcher, Sanyam Jain, contacted Bleeding Computer when he noticed “something strange.” He came across leaky databases comprising the LinkedIn data “appearing and disappearing from the Internet under different IP addresses.”
