sp_spaceused concern

I used sp_spaceused on one of the table and here is the output.

name,rows,reserved,data,index_size,unused
CreditCard_Protect ,8041839,674793648 KB,665420648 KB,5219808 KB,4153192 KB

In the data column, I see 665420648 KB which turns out to be > 600 GB which
is not true. Actual size of the table is much less than 600 GB or am I
missing something here? Table has up to date Indexes.

Try:

dbcc updateusage (0, 'CreditCard_Protect')

and retry.

If you think that you get incorrect results, you use the
@updateusage  parameter to make SQL Server check the space that the
table uses.  Check BOL for sp_spaceused and dbcc updateusage.
