AI Recruitment Platform Suitable AI Allegedly Breached, Over 15,000 Applicants' Data Leaked in a Partial Dump
A threat actor using the alias NightBroker claims to have breached Suitable AI (suitable.ai), an AI-powered recruitment platform based in India and the United States that helps STEM professionals find jobs. The actor posted a partial dump of 15,176 applicant records, stating the platform holds around 53,681 applicants in total. According to the post, the data was obtained by abusing weaknesses in the platform's GraphQL API, including an authentication bypass and an unauthenticated query that returned applicant contact details. The leaked fields include names, emails, mobile numbers, resumes, locations, salary expectations, and internal recruiter and scoring data. The claim is unverified.

⚠Potential impact
Recruitment data is sensitive because it ties named individuals to their contact details, resumes, career history, and salary expectations, all of which fuel targeted phishing, recruitment scams, and identity fraud. The exposure of resume files and professional profiles is especially useful to attackers building convincing lures. The actor also describes an authentication bypass and unauthenticated data access, which, if still present, would place the wider applicant base well beyond the 15,176 records posted at risk. The claim is unverified.
