Recently have gotten an email stating my account information from Chess.com was leaked to the Dark Web.. I just wanted to stop by and show my gratitude for the tight security here I really appreciate the incompetence.
No sarcasm include..
I'll go ahead and blank out the email not that it really matters now does it? 🖕

Nothing was leaked. The email address was found from some other data breach on a different site(s) (or via some other scaping methods elsewhere). Those emails were checked for accounts here using the find friends feature. Once there were emails matched to accounts, publicly available profile data, data added to the profile by the member, was gathered, likely via the Public API.

No private data was accessed and no site breach happened.
