Exactis LLC is a data broker established in 2015 and based in the U.S state of Florida. The firm reportedly handles business and consumer data in an effort to refine targeted advertising.[1]

Data leak

Exactis became notable in June 2018, after a discovery by cybersecurity researcher Vinny Troia[2] detailed how the organization made nearly 340 million detailed records about individual people available on a publicly accessible server,[3][4][1] leaving those people at heightened risk of being impersonated, profiled or otherwise exploited through social engineering. The information has reportedly since been protected and removed from the public.[5] However, the leak is notable due to the breach of data that was exposed, surpassing the Equifax breach which had exposed 145 million customers' personal data the year prior.[6]

Exactis had reportedly accumulated some or all of its information without the knowledge or explicit consent of the data subjects.[5]
