About This Record
What data was exposed in the Makipos incident?
The compromised customer, person, and merchant datasets contain verified data classes:

- Contact Details: Verified email addresses, landline, and mobile telephone numbers.

How many accounts were affected?

Security advisory & recommendations
The disclosure of national identification and tax IDs alongside contact information creates heightened risks of financial impersonation and targeted phishing. Affected entities should monitor billing activity closely.
