Experts weigh in on Clubhouse Data Leak, call it fake

Clubhouse themselves have put out an official statement saying that there has been no data breach

Clubhouse have now officially confirmed via a statement that there has been "no breach of Clubhouse" and the supposed hacks are just "a series of bots generating billions of random phone numbers."

If, by coincidence, one of these numbers do correlate to an actual phone number of a clubhouse user, "The API returns no user identifiable information."

News of @Clubhouse data breach on #darknet is getting viral.
First thing the seller claims FREE sample but it requires 8 credits to unlock.
Second it’s just random Japan phone numbers.
Threat actor is quite new on that forum, is least active & habitual to making such lame claims. pic.twitter.com/acEfcLQUCh

PII not available. This seller has a bad past. Attracting buyers by showing lakhs telegram followers. Seems Fake. #Clubhouse@Clubhouse#DataLeakhttps://t.co/1D3FmMoijS

The hacker's forum itself has marked the data breach as a "bad sample" which means that the data does not contain anything of value and is useless.
