A new posting with 700 million LinkedIn records has appeared on a popular hacker forum, according to researchers. Analysts from Privacy Sharks discovered the data for sale on RaidForums by a hacker known as “GOD User TomLiner”. The advertisement, posted on 22 June, claims that 700 million records are available, including name, gender, email, phone number and industry information. LinkedIn has confirmed that no breach of its networks has occurred in this instance. There are 200 million more records available than before, so it’s probable that new data has been scraped and that it’s more than a rehash of the previous group of records, researchers noted.
