Executive Summary
In July 2024, data scraped from a misconfigured/unsecured Life360 login API was posted online, exposing about 443,000 unique email addresses along with names and phone numbers in most cases. Location data was not part of this exposure.
ObscureIQ assessment: Extremely high risk. Exposure can enable stalking, domestic abuse, physical targeting, child and family surveillance, and detailed reconstruction of routines, home locations, and social relationships.
Breach Impact
Contact data supports phishing and smishing; while Life360 is a family/child-location product, the exposed set is contact info, not location - though the app context can heighten targeting concern.
