About This Breach
The compromised repository contains 6,090 unique email addresses along with subscriber names, physical delivery addresses, transaction records, International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs), and masked payment card fragments (card brand, expiration date, and partial digits).
Because the exposure encompasses validated bank account details and subscriber identities, affected readers should review bank account debits and remain guarded against direct-debit fraud schemes.
