The national public data, which is notorious for its role in leaking millions of social protection numbers last year, has returned with the ability to find one’s personal information.
Site Shut down In December, an estimated 272 million unique SSNs and 600 million phone numbers are estimated when an estimate is estimated after a violation of a violation against a parent’s company Geraico Pictures in December. Since then, the site has been relatively inactive. But today, we lived the National Public Data.com Domain with a new interface.
It seems that the domain has changed hands: in a page about last year’s violation, the site’s new owners Write: “Important Notes: Geraico Pictures, Inc., Florida Company, who faced a major data violation in 2024, no longer works for this site. We have zero affiliation with them. We are maintaining this page, actually posted by Jerico Pictures, in this way.

The site does not tell who the new owners are, but a domain Search It shows that it is registered in Florida -based “Perfect Privacy LLC”, a company known to help users anonymously register a web domain. (Meanwhile, the perfect privacy VPN told us that it had no affiliation with the national public data site.)
The new site serves as a “free people’s search engine”, which can endanger the public as national public data has a large part of sensitive data on Americans.
It is unclear where the site is getting its data. But new national public data Says: “We collect the data you find on the search engine of our people from the source available publicly, including the federal, state, and local government agencies, social media pages, property owned database, and other reliable platforms. After the data comes into our hands, we confirm it.

Still, the thing that makes the site annoying is how you can Freely See people’s data and sometimes with a person’s relatives, find the right leaves, phone numbers and birth dates. No one is behind the data. That said, the new site is no different than other people’s searching services, which offers similar figures for free.
The new national public data added: “On our people’s search website, you can find a lot to do with someone’s contact information, location, age and anniversary, relatives and criminal records. No need to print on different web pages.”
