The leaked data primarily included email addresses (165,000 records), with some customers having encrypted names, contact details, gender, and birthdates exposed. The company disclosed measures taken, including blocking attack vectors, enhancing firewalls and encryption, strengthening access controls, 24/7 system monitoring, and notifying affected customers (July 27, 2026).
