National Public Data is a people-search site that aggregates public records including names, addresses, phone numbers, and more. The site is operated by a new company — the previous operator (Jerico Pictures, Inc.) suffered a massive 2024 data breach that exposed billions of records including Social Security numbers.

TIPS
The 2024 NPD data breach (under previous operator Jerico Pictures, Inc.) exposed approximately 2.9 billion records including names, addresses, phone numbers, and Social Security numbers. If you haven't already, consider placing a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
The current site operator has no affiliation with Jerico Pictures, Inc. and is maintaining the breach notice page for historical traceability.
Check HaveIBeenPwned.com (haveibeenpwned.com) to see if your email was included in the breach.
