The breach exposed personal information of nearly 9 million customers, including names, phone numbers, IP addresses, post codes, the last four digits of credit card numbers, and passwords stored as bcrypt hashes. This incident emphasizes the importance of strong cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive customer data and prevent unauthorized access.
