LeadGibbon

LeadGibbon is a B2B lead intelligence platform designed for sales and marketing professionals to find and verify business contact information. The service primarily functions as an outbound sales prospecting tool, allowing users to build lead lists with data such as work email addresses, phone numbers, job titles, company size, and industry. A key feature is its seamless integration with LinkedIn's Sales Navigator through a Chrome extension, which enables the extraction of this professional data directly from LinkedIn profiles. The platform claims to have a database of over 26 million records and is utilized by businesses to enhance their sales pipelines and marketing campaigns. While focused on business contacts, the exposure of professional email addresses and phone numbers can lead to unsolicited marketing and sales communications. This data could potentially be misused for targeted phishing scams or other fraudulent activities directed at employees. To mitigate these risks, professionals should be cautious about the information they share on public platforms like LinkedIn and can request access to or deletion of their personal data from services like LeadGibbon.
