This #breach notification letter I received yesterday from #700Credit is right up there with the worst ever.
According to https://outpost24.com/blog/700credit-data-breach/ and a number of other available articles about this, the breach affected >5.6 million people, and names, addresses, DOBs, and SSNs were compromised.
NONE of this is mentioned in the letter.
But here's the thing: it would have been ILLEGAL for 700Credit to mention any of this in their letter!

Our TI team analyzes how the breach unfolded, the underground activity observed, and the security lessons that matter most.

Fuite massive chez 700Credit : 5,6 millions de personnes touchées aux États-Unis

Selon l’actualité fournie, 700Credit, fournisseur de vérifications de crédit pour les concessions automobiles aux États-Unis, a annoncé une fuite de données impliquant au moins 5,6 millions de personnes. L’entreprise basée au Michigan indique qu’un acteur malveillant non identifié est responsable d’un incident survenu en octobre 2025. Les données compromises incluent les noms, adresses, dates de naissance et numéros de Sécurité sociale (SSN). Le procureur général du Michigan précise que les informations volées proviennent de données collectées auprès des concessionnaires sur la période mai à octobre 2025. 700Credit fournit des services de vérification de crédit et d’authentification d’identité à travers les États-Unis, ce qui élargit la portée potentielle de l’impact.
