The top comment on Reddit r/netsec's corresponding coverage has mirrors on Mega.co.nz for the files [1] I couldn't find my own data in the set, and actually it seems like lots of entire area codes are missing. Assuming `cat schat.csv | uniq | cut -c1-4 | wc -l` is the proper command, there are only 76 of 322 [2] US area codes represented. It appears there are two Canadian area codes represented in the database: 867 a…

The only Canadian area codes are for Manitoba and the Far North. Not so bad :)

It's taking too much time to download each file even they're 40 MB. I wish they put it on as torrent in the first place. Regarding the leak, yeah, that actually happens when you focus on the product but security and reliability of your system. Snapchat, Whatsapp and many others are hacked numerous times and yet it still happens.

I do not wish they would torrent this. People, think about it. Personal, private phone numbers. Why would you want this information? Seriously the comments here make me sad for humanity right now.

These comments are disgusting. Why are you all trying to download the data? Why are many of you trying to distribute it?

Why should General Clapper have all the fun?

Phone numbers are hardly private information.

it's not that - resolving who people are across many services needs lots of fields of info. The more the better the accuracy of the algorithms that find the correlations.
