Why it matters:
This discovery highlights serious privacy concerns and exposes customers to the risk of spear-phishing and social engineering attempts to gain additional information that could potentially be used for identity theft, impersonating individuals, or other financial crimes and potential for insurance or automotive ID fraud.
