The same threat actor has leaked larger amounts of data from LinkedIn dated 2023. They claim this new data contains 35M lines and is 12 GB uncompressed.

Well, fuck. This was the ONE social media site that I put my data on, and that was out of necessity (job hunting). I know it's not the same, but this sort of feels like the Equifax breach.

If it's any consolation, LinkedIn is notoriously terrible at this, so your data was probably out there as early as 2016 and almost certainly after 2021, when they managed to get hit with similar breaches twice in the same year.
