In May 2023 the American platform PowerAlmanac which specializes in providing data about local government officials suffered a significant data exposure through web scraping and parsing techniques. The incident resulted in the collection of contact details for approximately 270 thousand individuals. The exposed dataset included professional contact information such as email addresses phone numbers and physical office addresses along with specific job titles and organizational roles. This data was subsequently distributed across various dark web forums and data leak repositories making the information of high ranking state and local officials publicly accessible to unauthorized parties.
