It happened this year, and coverage about the lawsuit against this has just been revealed to the public. More details to follow, and help expand the article. ѕιη¢єяєℓу ƒяσм, ᗰOᗪ ᑕᖇEᗩTOᖇ 🏡 🗨 📝 03:19, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- No objections to the proposed move. Noleander (talk) 16:16, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- At the page List of data breaches I was told it's not a confirmed breach yet. VintageVernacular (talk) 20:50, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- It is real. This is not a joke! I know friends and relatives who have checked on npd.pentester.com/search and the last two digits of their ssn that weren't censored were a match! Want more proof? Look to see if your information was compromised by checking the website I mentioned. If it is there and the uncensored part of the ssn matches, then it has to be real! NPD probably can't acknowledge it because they are being sued right now. Minermatt122514 (talk) 21:59, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- Also the amount of records is inaccurate. People have duplicate records for various reasons such as an address change. Minermatt122514 (talk) 22:01, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree. But maybe @Masem: (who reverted me on the other page) could weigh in. There may be some reason not to call it confirmed yet. VintageVernacular (talk) 22:02, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- They acknowledged it before their website was locked down to prevent further attacks. Here is an archived version. https://web.archive.org/web/20240816143439/https://nationalpublicdata.com/Breach.html Minermatt122514 (talk) 22:17, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- Company website now confirms the leak. See https://nationalpublicdata.com/Breach.html. Noleander (talk) 10:19, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

- Support I am not finding much about the company prior to the breech, so it makes sense to cover the breech as the main topic, until we can prove the company notable. --Masem (t) 00:07, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose because of incorrect capitalisation of the word "breach" as per WP:LOWERCASE. Schwede66 08:41, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support so long as the capitalization error mentioned above is fixed. If it is then yeah move the page, as the only thing really notable here is the massive data leak. Gaismagorm (talk) 10:56, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- In fact, every single source in the article is about the data breach, and the only section in it is about the data breach. Gaismagorm (talk) 10:58, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
