What was exposed, and why it matters
Bank account numbers
Enables direct-debit fraud and gives a caller the detail needed to sound like the bank.
Dates of birth
One of the three things call centres ask to verify identity, and it never changes.
Email addresses
The address becomes a confirmed, active target, expect more phishing, better aimed.
Financial investments
Adds detail to a profile that can be assembled from several breaches at once.
Government issued IDs
Passport and licence numbers are used to prove identity to banks and telecoms, and they are effectively permanent.
Names
Turns an anonymous address into an identified person, which is what makes targeted phishing possible.
Phone numbers
Enables SIM-swap attacks against SMS two-factor codes, and puts the number on scam-call lists indefinitely.
Physical addresses
Where someone actually lives. Combined with a name this moves the risk off the internet.

Three kinds of content appear on this page and they are kept apart deliberately. The breach description is quoted from Have I Been Pwned under its licence. The severity score, the field-by-field explanation and the advice are computed from the record itself, every sentence derives from a number or a flag in it, which is what stops the analysis drifting from the evidence. Anything under the "MyRecon's take" byline is editorial: our reading of this breach, presented as opinion rather than as a finding.
