About This Breach

The compromised data, which included names, phone numbers, email and IP addresses, customer geographic locations, and passwords stored as salted SHA-1 hashes, was later sold online. This incident highlights the critical need for comprehensive cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive customer data and prevent unauthorized access.
