As DataBreaches.net reported in the past, the data from the GeniusU leak wound up being given away for free on a Russian-language forum. They were first leaked there in November, 2020. In January, 2021, another user of the same forum offered a leak that they claimed included “Email Addresses, First Names, Last Names, Website Activity, Social Links (twitter,google+,linkedin), Genders, Passwords, Country Locations.” The data are no longer available from the file-sharing site.
