NEW YORK — Millions of records from a commercial corporate database have been leaked.
The database, about 52 gigabytes in size, contains just under 33.7 million unique email addresses and other contact information from employees of thousands of companies, representing a large portion of the US corporate population.
Dun & Bradstreet, a business services giant, confirmed that it owns the database, which it acquired as part of a 2015 deal to buy NetProspex for $125 million.
The purchased database contains dozens of fields, some including personal information such as names, job titles and functions, work email addresses, and phone numbers.
