What was exposed

  • Email addresses: The email address you used to register or log in. It is the most common field in breaches because it doubles as your username on most sites.
  • Names: Your first name, surname and sometimes middle name or initials, as you gave them when you signed up. It appears in almost every breach because nearly every account asks for it.
  • Phone numbers: Your mobile or landline number, collected at signup for contact, delivery updates, marketing and two-factor codes.
  • Physical addresses: Your residential, postal, billing or delivery address, stored by retailers, utilities, banks, government services and almost any company that sends you something.
  • Vehicle details: Descriptive information about a vehicle you own or drive, such as make, model, year, colour, trim, finance status or service history, held by insurers, dealers, finance companies and apps.
  • Vehicle identification numbers (VINs): The unique 17 character code assigned to a vehicle, used for registration, insurance, recalls, finance, servicing and vehicle history checks.
  • Vehicle registration plates: Your vehicle registration or licence plate number, stored by parking apps, toll systems, insurers, dealers, car washes and fleet services.
