The data broker at the center of what could be one of the year's more significant breaches tells officials that only 1.3 million people were affected.

In any normal scenario, the news of a leak affecting 1.3 million people would be astounding, but this is an oddity because many investigators previously put the number far, far higher in recent weeks.
Florida-based National Public Data (NPD) confirmed the number of affected individuals on Friday via a filing with the Maine Attorney General. Said notifications require organizations to list the total number of affected individuals and separately the number affected in Maine.
The digital breach, NPD said, took place in December 2023, but it acknowledged that leaks of this data began in April of this year and continued throughout the summer.
