Two of the biggest online background check services have suffered recent data breaches that saw sensitive data on millions of their users leaked online.
News of the attack on TruthFinder and Instant Checkmate was confirmed by PeopleConnect, the company that owns both affected organizations.
Background checkers are services that allow people to do their due diligence on other people. Whether when looking to employ someone, or for any other reason, people can use these services which aggregate publicly available data which would otherwise take quite some time to gather: federal, state, or court records, criminal records, social media data, etc.
