What was exposed
Browser user agent details: A short text string your browser sends to every website, naming the browser, its version, the operating system and often the device type, for example Chrome on Windows or Safari on an iPhone.
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.
IP addresses: The network addresses your devices used when you signed up, logged in or posted, recorded by almost every website in its access logs.
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.
Payment methods: The payment options saved to your account: the card brand and last digits, a PayPal or wallet email, direct debit bank details or a buy now pay later link. Some breaches include full card data, others only the type.
Physical addresses: Your residential, postal, billing or delivery address, stored by retailers, utilities, banks, government services and almost any company that sends you something.
