Eight unsecured databases were found leaking approximately 60 million records of LinkedIn user information. While most of the information is publicly available, the databases contain the email addresses of the LinkedIn users.
The total size of all of the 8 DBs is 229 GB, with each database ranging between 25 GB to 32 GB.

As a test, Jain pulled my record from one of the databases and sent it to me for review. The data contained in this record included my LinkedIn profile information, including IDs, profile URLs, work history, education history, location, listed skills, other social profiles, and the last time the profile was updated.
After reviewing the data that was sent to me, I found all of the information to be accurate.
LinkedIn states it's not their database
After they reviewed my sample record, Paul Rockwell, head of Trust & Safety at LinkedIn, told us that this database does not belong to them, but they are aware of third-party databases containing scraped LinkedIn data.
