as the the revelation last month, with Collections #2-5. Read
the excerpt, below.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I recently applied
for a Capital One credit card, and as part of the process
downloaded the Credit Wise app to my phone. There's a tab
along the bottom called "Alerts" which displays a list of
"Credit & Identity Alerts" for the email address
associated with the account. I've attached a screen shot,
below the quote, below.</font></p>

worried?</b>"<br>

"Yes, of course you should. This was, after all, a massive
leak of the kind of personal information that would be a
goldmine for the phishers and spammers of this world. However,
that concern can be diluted by a number of factors. Not least
there's the small matter that nobody has found any compelling
evidence that the data has actually been used for any criminal
purpose as of yet. Although the databases were accessible for
some time, as soon as the problem was disclosed to
Verifications IO the service was taken offline and remains so.
Which means that bad guys alerted by this news won't be able
to exploit it. What's just as important as what was in the
breach is what wasn't. So, there were no social security
numbers, no credit card numbers, no passwords. And,
importantly, this was a leak not a hack: white hat researchers
found the data was accessible rather than black hats looking
to exploit it."</font></p>
