I don't know anything about what ad databases look like, but so far I haven't seen any evidence that the data is legit. Fake breaches happen every now and then so I wouldn't be surprised if this is one.

The sample has very little data for such a comparatively large claim of 2 billion.

To be clear this is not a TikTok ad database. This is a tracking database from a third party who manages their clients' business with TikTok (and others).

2 billion ad views are not that big. You are likely looking at logs not the core tables.

Have you looked at the sample data yet?
