Zacks Database

On July 12, 2022, the Zacks Database was breached, resulting in the exposure of personal information of nearly 9 million individuals.

The leak contained 8,929,503 records, including names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and Social Security numbers. The data was reportedly stolen by a malicious actor who gained access to the database through a vulnerability in the companys website.

Zacks, a financial research and advisory firm, acknowledged the breach and notified affected individuals. The company stated that it had taken steps to secure its systems and mitigate the impact of the incident. However, the leaked data remains a significant risk to those whose information was compromised.
