The Take: The stolen customer data includes names, phone numbers, postal and email addresses, dates of birth, and national identification numbers. The data also includes a “limited number” of Social Security numbers and government identification documents, such as driver’s licenses and other documents that contain personal information, like utility bills and bank account numbers.
