The company said the hacker stole customer names, postal and email addresses, phone numbers, and the last four-digits of users’ Social Security numbers. The hacker also took masked bank account numbers and some banking identifiers, as well as customers’ government-issued identity documents, such as driver’s licenses and passports. The stolen data also includes account balance data and transaction histories.

The company said some corporate data, such as internal documentation, was also stolen during the breach.

Wow, they lost a lot more sensitive data than I was expecting.

With government IDs being in the leak this feels like what's gonna happen in the next couple years with porn sites needing government IDs. I bet peoples watching habits will get leaked right along side IDs.

Why the fuck would you save sensitive documents beyond identity verification ~~certification~~? Great job asshats.

Wow, only exactly what was going to happen and they probably sold said information. People don't understand KYC/AML exchanges are literally cancer for security. Often if the government knows, EVERYONE knows what you have and therefore scammers, robbers, sluthes, etc can dox you. Its not paranoia its an excel sheet. It's liquid gold on the Internet.

"Oh but its the law" not my point. If criminals can prove there's gold in your house and it will pay off, you can kiss your ass goodbye.
