The data also contained largely corporate contact information including names, phone numbers, physical addresses, internal job titles, and customer feedback.

What was exposed

  • Customer feedback: Survey responses, star ratings, product reviews, complaints and comments you sent to a company, usually stored with your account, order or contact details.
  • 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.
  • Employers: The name of the company or organisation you work for, collected by professional networks, job sites, insurers, lenders and many signup forms.
  • Job titles: Your role or position, such as accounts payable officer, nurse or IT administrator, recorded by professional networks, business software, event registrations and marketing lists.
  • 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.
  • Usernames: The handle or login name you chose for an account, which may be public on forums, games and social platforms or used privately to sign in.
