The data dump (as obtained and claimed by few researchers) included Names, Usernames, Email Ids, Passwords, and other account details. Unacademy authorities later confirmed that almost 11 Million accounts got compromised, but nothing valuable got leaked or misused. Unacademy assured the fact that no sensitive information has been compromised in their official statement on the matter.
