Hunter Web Services, Inc.

Hunter.io is an online platform designed to find and verify professional email addresses, positioning itself as an all-in-one email outreach tool. Primarily serving sales, marketing, and recruiting professionals, the service allows users to search for the email addresses of individuals at specific companies by entering a name and a company domain. The platform's database is built by crawling public web pages for business data such as names, professional email addresses, and job titles. This extensive collection of professional contact information, while valuable for B2B outreach, can be misused for spam, phishing attempts, and unwanted solicitation. The exposure of this data could lead to targeted cyberattacks against businesses and their employees. To mitigate these risks, individuals should be cautious about the professional information they share publicly and can request that their data be removed from Hunter.io's database.
