What happened to Verifications.io after data leak? Security Researcher Bob Diachenko discovered the breach in an online database created by Verifications.io that had no privacy protections in place. The company offered an “enterprise email validation” service for marketing companies to check whether email addresses were valid or not. The online email database was created by a company called Verifications.io, which reportedly had no security measures in place. Good news was that the info did not contain passwords or credit card details. The Daily Mail and Forbes reported that personal information from 982 million email accounts included names, gender, dates of birth, employers and even residence in the database.
