You can try it for yourself by changing the email. All of the information is public, so I don't mind. They are basically doing data integration.
This is all scrapped public social media data. No credentials or govt information. It's very easy to download or buy this data legally.
It appears to also contain information possibly acquired from other companies. For example, the author notes that he had attributed to him a phone number he had assigned to him by AT&T that he never used or shared.
People data labs's data is pretty accurate. Here is mine: https://api.peopledatalabs.com/v4/person?api_key=9c6a1382204... You can try it for yourself by changing the email. All of the information is public, so I don't mind. They are basically doing data integration.
Firefox monitor can tell you if your information was leaked in data breaches. I don't think they have this data set though. https://monitor.firefox.com/
Does this cover more leaks than haveibeenpwned.com?

Strangely it only says I work in real estate (no I don't) when I looked up the email address I use for LinkedIn...

How does Firefox Monitor know I was involved in these breaches?
Firefox Monitor gets its data breach information from a publicly searchable source, Have I Been Pwned. If you don’t want your email address to show up in this database, visit the opt-out page.

Out of curiosity how do you guys think they managed to scrape LinkedIn on such a large scale? I've been wanting to do some social graph experimentation on it (small scale - say 1000 people near me) but concluded I probably couldn't scrape enough via raw scraping without freaking out their anti-scraping. (And API is a non-starter since that basically says everything is verboten).

I want someone to start an opt-out service, where I send them $20, and they send a book of names by registered mail for opt-outs every month. An online opt-out system is too easy for them. I want each one to get a phone-book sized list of opt-outs every month. And the same for data requests. Someone that curates the data collectors, and sends them requests every month. Do you know which country’s “do not call” list I…
Also it seems like theres a service like this called Delete Me, but it also seems like theyre a manual opt-out shop. Would be cool if you could find a way to not have humans doing it. Bet they're just having people on amazon mechanical turk fill these out or something like that. https://joindeleteme.com/how-we-work/
